Space Station

About

British astronaut Tim Peake is currently spending six months on the International Space Station, carrying out a wide range of activities. Here is your opportunity to take part in constructing a large and accurate model of the ISS - out of toilet rolls, pizza trays, bamboo skewers, kitchen foil, straws and lollipop sticks!

The model has been designed by Jerry Stone from Spaceflight UK, who will be overseeing the construction. There will be a number of sessions allowing you to drop in and make some parts of the model. The whole construction will be put on display once it is completed.

There will also be an area for you to build you own simple, smaller space station model to take home with you.

The times for the drop-in sessions will be as follows:

11am - 12noon
12.30pm - 1.30pm
2pm - 3pm
3.30pm - 5pm.

Please note that the large model will be built over the course of the day and you will be building sections to fit on it. The completed space station will be finished by the end of each day (there will be two completed models at the end of the weekend - one for Saturday and one for Sunday).
