Students from Haberdashers’ Elstree Schools embarked on their own space-themed projects after enjoying an inspiring visit from British astronaut Tim Peake in October.
The talk gave students a glimpse of what it is like to live and work in space, followed by an interactive session in which Tim shared several thrilling stories about his time aboard the International Space Station. His insights helped to ignite a new-found excitement for space exploration and prompted the students to work on their own projects for the rest of term.
Tim was keen to emphasise the importance of teamwork and resilience, explaining how successful space missions depend on these vital qualities.
Joshua Plotkin, director of partnerships at Haberdashers’ Elstree Schools, said: “The chance for them to come and interview the only British man ever to have completed a spacewalk was too good to resist.
“Not many people can say that they’ve had a conversation with a real-life astronaut. Tim Peake’s visit to Habs may have even sparked the aspirations of a future generation of astronauts.”
