Space Race is a secondary schools international STEM project to design, build, and control vehicles to explore the atmosphere, surface, and oceans of an imaginary planet. Pupils will have to learn coding and design technology skills to be able to over come challenges set for them by their partner schools. The project will develop links with industry and higher education institutions to sign post pathways into the STEM professions. It will particularly target disadvantaged groups and those children with fewer opportunities. The five schools involved come from the United Kingdom (two), Germany, Spain, and French Guyana. Each country will host an exchange of pupils and each exchange will have a different theme (Land, Atmosphere, Ocean, and Launch). The final exchange will be to French Guyana and enable a visit to the European Space Agency's launch site. The outcomes will be highly skilled teaching staff in the STEM subjects, motivated and skilled pupils.
