The perfect project for school teachers of pupils between 8 and 12 years old, Mission X is also ideal for educators who run science clubs, youth and community groups, after-school clubs and home educators. In the Mission X: Walk to the Moon Challenge, teams of students complete activities to earn points and help the Mission X mascots, Luna and Leo, walk to the Moon. Two sets of hands-on classroom activities support the challenge: physical activities, which help students develop strength, endurance, coordination, and spatial awareness; and scientific activities which focus on STEM subjects and allow students to practice scientific reasoning and teamwork.

All Mission X resources are freely available to help educators teach the principles of health and exercise, using a space context. Many of the lessons and activities are linked to the science curriculum, have a clear focus on health and nutrition, and are available in a range of languages.

The programme is supported by the UK Space Agency and the European Space Agency, and facilitated by the ESERO network.

Teachers and educators can sign up to the challenge here.
