Spaceschool, University of Kent Space school is an annual event organised by the School of Physical-Sciences at the University of Kent to promote all aspects of space science to school students. It consists of a weekend residential visit to the University where students experience activities, demonstrations and lectures on current space science issues. The weekend culminates in a model rocket competition whereby teams of students design, build and launch model rockets to launch an egg to a height of several hundred meters and safely return it to the ground. I have been involved in the organisation and running of space school at Kent since its creation in 2001 and have given multimedia lectures as part of the programme: "A multimedia tour of the Solar System" 2002 "Mars and the possibilities of life" 2003/2004 "Extra-solar planets and the search for life" 2006 - 2008 For more information please e-mail: spaceschool@kent.ac.uk or see the spaceschool website: http://astro.kent.ac.uk/mds/Spaceschool/
