The E-mission has landed!!!!!
National Space Centre Training Day at St. Edmunds
The National Space centre training day took place at St. Edmunds today. Teachers from a number of Kent Schools attended the day and were involved in an E-mission: Operation Monserat. http://www.spacecentre.co.uk/education/outreach/e-missions.htm
In the morning the Teachers were shown the Teacher and students resources and completed the exercises that accompany the e-Mission.
After a short break for some lunch (which was very nice!), the Teachers got into teams:
- The Volcano Team
- The Evacuation team
- The Hurricane Team
They then took part in a live e-Mission. The teams were responsibile for evacuating residents of Monserrat Island and for tracking the path of the Hurricane. The volcano team were also responsible for monitoring any volcanic activity.
This was a briliant day and everyone enjoyed themselves.
Look in the photo gallery for a selection of photos from the day to see what the Teachers got up to.
