SUMMARY:World Museum: World Museum: 'Destination Space' Education Programme
  Opens
DESCRIPTION:World Museum launches space-themed family events programme\n\nW
 orld Museum is set to launch its Destination Space events programme this m
 onth with a host of exciting free activities and events for families to en
 joy. The programme blasts off with a stargazing evening on Friday 23 Octob
 er 2015\, when visitors can explore outer space using telescopes\, or take
  a virtual tour of the galaxies in the Planetarium.\n\nThe Museum is one o
 f 20 science centres across the UK to have been selected to deliver the pr
 ogramme\, which will include interactive family shows exploring life in sp
 ace and regular hands-on craft workshops where younger visitors can design
  their own mission badges\, create flip books to learn about the Moon’s 
 cycle\, and even make their own mini solar systems!\n\nVisitors can enjoy 
 live demonstrations of the University of Liverpool’s Mars rover robots\,
  learning all about the university’s research in this field. World Museu
 m will also partner with Liverpool John Moores University sports scientist
 s for ‘Mission X’\; an international learning challenge focusing on fi
 tness and nutrition\, designed to show us how to ‘train like an astronau
 t’.\n\nJon Marrow\, Senior Education Manager at National Museums Liverpo
 ol\, said: “The thinking behind Destination Space is very much at the he
 art of what we do here at World Museum. We want to encourage young people 
 to get excited about science and the world around them\; to be curious\, t
 o feel confident in asking big questions and to learn in a fun\, hands-on 
 way.”\n\nIn hosting Destination Space\, World Museum joins forces with t
 he European Space Agency’s first British astronaut\, Tim Peake. Tim is e
 xpected to travel to the International Space Centre in December 2015\, whe
 re he will live and work for six months.\n\nBacked by the UK Space Agency\
 , the programme aims to provide children with a unique opportunity to join
  Tim’s crew\, learn about human space flight and follow life on the Inte
 rnational Space Station through special video links.\n\nDr David Parker\, 
 Chief Executive of the UK Space Agency\, said: “Human spaceflight is the
  ultimate in team effort with many committed individuals working to get an
  astronaut into space. We wanted the Destination Space programme to recogn
 ise the talents of the people who support Tim Peake and in doing so showca
 se all the fantastic career opportunities this sector offers young people.
 \n\n“Our Destination Space family shows and school workshops at 20 scien
 ce centres across the UK allow visitors to learn more about Tim Peake’s 
 mission\, get hands-on training and find out all about the great people th
 at work behind the scenes in human space flight.”\n\nOnline\, Destinatio
 n Space will follow Tim’s adventures in space and encourage the UK to ge
 t behind his mission through the inspiring figures who will be supporting 
 his adventures. Everyone can sign up for training with Tim and share their
  endeavours via a social media command centre.\n\nA unique personality too
 l has also been developed that allows people to secure their place in Tim
 ’s crew\, assigning everyone a role based on their interests and prefere
 nces. To join the Destination Space crew\, visit www.DestinationSpace.uk\n
