A Taste of Space At University of South Wales
Welsh students attending the closing event hosted by the University of South Wales enjoyed A Taste of Space in an interactive workshop looking at space food led by Amy Nunn.
The workshop involved an introduction covering some of the history of how space food has developed since the early days of space travel and looks at the technology involved in preparing food for space. This was followed by a class discussion about the topic and a hands-on group activity.
The workshop included an engineering activity where pupils work together in teams to design packaging for their favourite food that would make it suitable to take into space. They then built a prototype model from a variety of materials provided. The groups took it in turns to show their models to the rest of the class, explaining the features included in their designs.
The class took their completed design sheets and prototypes back to school for further classroom discussion.
