Values and vision
Space Studio West London delivers an exciting new design for Scientific and Mathematical Learning – a vibrant combination of high quality scientific education and industry-related interaction that will equip young people with the abilities and qualifications they need to prevail in competitive job markets. The aim of the school is to ensure that young people are well equipped to become skilled technicians, operators, engineers, scientists, inventors and entrepreneurs in aerospace and space related industries.
Core Projects are central to the education of students at Space Studio West London. Project based learning is about students developing and executing an extended project that creates a publicly exhibited output such as a product, publication, or exhibition. Each Core Project proposes a key question or hypothesis for students to investigate, and they will also be expected to originate a product and display their findings to a wider audience.
