Unlock Your Students Potential

With an exclusive launch prize for your school

Introducing Launch Prize for Schools 🚀

An interactive virtual challenge that will take your students learning to new heights!

With Launch Prize for Schools you will run your own private competition exclusively for your pupils... Ensuring your Schools experiment launches to the International Space Station.

Challenge your students to design a real space experiment. We'll pick the best one and fly it on a SpaceX Rocket to the International Space Station (ISS) where Astronauts on board will conduct your students’ experiment in microgravity and send the findings back down to Earth.

Your students will learn from NASA Astronauts and Space Scientists in a series of LIVE webinars beamed straight into your school. They'll have special access to our online Launch Pack which contains everything they need to design a winning experiment.

We put the control in your hands; You choose the size of the student teams (individuals or 2, 3, 4, 5 people per team) AND you can run the challenge for any time period up to 12 months.

Join us today and challenge your students to unlock their incredible potential.
