The STEM Hub as ESERO (European Space Education Resource Office) National Partner & Southeast Regional Partner is excited to celebrate World Space Week with a series of interactive, educational, and fun live virtual talks and shows designed for primary and secondary students. These sessions will be expertly delivered by STEM Ambassadors and professionals from the space, aerospace, and aviation industries, giving young people a window into the science, technology, and careers shaping the future of space exploration.
World Space Week takes place annually from October 4 to 10. The 2025 theme, “Living in Space”, explores the innovations and technologies needed for humans to live and work sustainably beyond Earth. More information about World Space Week can be found here.
Take a look at the fantastic line-up of talks commencing on 3 October to kick off this annual and much-loved event, and join us by registering using the appropriate links below:
Team Tim | Suitable for KS1/KS2
Blast off this World Space Week with Team Tim Online, an hour online interactive science show celebrating the 2025 theme Living in Space. Join spacefund.co.uk and British astronaut Tim Peake as he prepares for his next mission aboard the International Space Station—the largest human-made structure in orbit. Packed with science, drama, and visual effects, Team Tim invites primary school audiences to help Tim pass his astronaut training and get mission ready. Fun, educational, and unforgettable, Team Tim Online is guaranteed to delight, inspire, and launch imaginations into orbit!
Flying High: Passion, Persistence, and STEM Careers | Suitable for KS3-5
To celebrate World Space Week, join STEM Ambassador Steph for a Live Talk! An airline pilot whose career demonstrates that persistence and passion can overcome any barrier, Steph began in flight operations and as cabin crew before earning her ATPL and reaching the flight deck. During the talk, Steph will share her journey to inspire young people, showing that there are many routes into aviation and STEM. Her story highlights curiosity, determination, and creative problem-solving as essential tools for achieving your dreams, no matter where you start, while also emphasising the importance of attracting more females into these fields.
Walking Amongst Giants | Suitable for KS1/2
Join STEM Ambassador Caroline from Stellar Solutions Aerospace Ltd for a special live talk to celebrate World Space Week.Roald Dahl's BFG may be considered a giant, but not when you compare him to an Argentinasaurus, the largest dinosaur to ever roam the planet... until a giant object from outer space collided with Earth and caused catastrophic events that saw the disappearance of Argentinasaurus and their dinosaur friends. Thanks to STEM we are able to explore and understand so much of how we, as tiny humans, are able to walk amongst these giants! Join Caroline on her journey across space and time, to learn how she has used STEM in her jobs as a palaeontologist, archaeologist, uncrewed underwater vehicle (think Boaty McBoatface!) pilot, and as a space terranaut!

Moon Landing Coding Adventure | Suitable for KS1/LSK2 (5-8 years old)
To end World Space Week we are joined by Get with the Program with their Moon Landing Coding Adventure which helps 5-8 year-old children learn practical coding skills as they create algorithms to send a robot to the moon! We will be accompanied live online by ‘Professor’ Trice, who will introduce, pause to chat, and conclude the exciting and interactive 25-minute ‘watch-along’ coding adventure show!
*Please note that all these virtual talks will take place using MS Teams Live. The platform has safeguarding built-in to make it a safe online environment, especially for young people, including no webcams or microphones and a live Q&A function which is fully moderated.
