They are from schools all over Scotland and are students of the Scottish Space School Foundation, which is supported by Nasa and Careers Scotland.
To be chosen for the Space School they completed a distance learning programme developed by Nasa to supplement their Standard grade physics, chemistry and maths. Christina Allon, of Careers Scotland, said: “The Space School is an opportunity to see the skills they are developing in science and maths put into action in one of the world’s leading centres of technology.”
