In July I spoke at the Annual Prize Giving at the beautiful Claremont Fan Court School in Esher, Surrey where I also had the pleasure of judging the Rocket and Space Station building competition for the pre-prep and prep schools. The main requirement was that the designs had to float on water and they were all launched into the swimming pool for judging. The children really enjoyed it (and the parents too!) and none of the 25 designs sank (that I saw anyway!), some even contained teddy bear astronauts!
I also took along the outreach meteorites and spoke to GCSE and A-level students (and lots of their parents) about meteorites and space missions. A really fun and sunny day out, lots of fun.
