International Space School
Educational Trust
When you go to space camp you will learn the kind of
things that will allow you to work with NASA and the
world’s space communities who are the forefront of going
back to the Moon, on to Mars and then into outer-space.

NASA personnel, including astronauts and
rocket scientists

ISSET has developed a range of
programmes throughout the world
that use the context of space to
make a difference to the lives of
young people.

several ISSET programmes.

The programme has a challenging
and excellent framework. It is
superbly stimulating for our
students who went on to increase
their achievement in their school
work. Also it is great to receive such
positive feedback from parents.
ISSET has received the
prestigious Sir Arthur
Clarke Award for
Education Achievement.
