Students at the beginning of term were asked to design a space station as part of their course requirement. The project ran in conjunction with material they were covering in Science. The purpose of the project was to reinforce subject knowledge, while at the same time giving students the opportunity to be as creative as possible. Students were also required to answer nine questions. For example: Where would they sleep?
How many people would be onboard? What type of work would they be doing? How would their space station be powered?
