ESERO-UK, a programme funded by STEM Learning, ESA and the UK Space Agency, is preparing for Mars Day 2023. Join them for a spectacular and exciting programme of events for young people!
As part of the Mars Day 23 mission, schools are invited to host space activities in classrooms alongside fellow schools nationwide for Mars Hour 23. There will also be a range of live and virtual activities hosted by organisations across the UK for Mars Week 23 (07 – 12 March 2023) for schools and the public.

Plus there will be careers sessions focusing on the link between STEM and space covering Science in Space, Technology in Space, Engineering in Space and Maths in Space. Each session will feature a lead speaker as a subject ‘Patron’, with a panel of STEM Ambassadors and industry professionals working in space projects across the vast UK space industry joining in for discussions.”
