Mobilise Star Lab to Inspire Primary Children

8th March to 22nd March
Take the opportunity to develop and evidence your ability to be innovative in planning for learning, mobilising Manchester Met's Star Lab dome

Manchester Met’s Star Lab dome is an inflatable planetarium. It can be used to deliver immersive experiences, primarily themed around the stars and planets.

We have arranged for a team of Year 1 Primary Education students to explore how Star Lab could be used to create innovative experiences for children.

You’ll have chance to experience the lab for yourself on campus. You’ll then be supported to develop ideas for how you might create a morning of exciting and engaging learning for children inspired by the possibilities of the lab.

The project will conclude by putting your ideas into action – with a visit to a primary school in stockport, where you will deliver your project to two classes of Y3 children.

It’s a great way to develop your creative planning skills, to evidence something a bit different and to have an impact.

A bursary of £20 will be paid on completion of the project, to cover travel expenses – and a small budget for creating resources will also be made available.
