Mission Discovery London at King’s College London is an extraordinary STEM and leadership programme where teenagers aged 14-18 work with NASA astronauts, scientists, and university professors to design a real experiment that could be conducted on the International Space Station (ISS). Over six action-packed days, participants hone teamwork, critical thinking, and innovation skills while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. This is not just a science camp — it’s a chance to make a real impact on space exploration and build lifelong connections with like-minded peers.
Participants work in teams to design a hypothesis-driven experiment with expert guidance, gaining critical skills in scientific thinking, leadership, and problem-solving. The winning experiment will be built and sent to the ISS on a SpaceX rocket.
Enjoy inspiring keynote sessions, discussions with astronauts, and interactive team-building challenges, all designed to foster creativity and collaboration in a high-energy environment.
For residential participants, accommodation is provided at King’s College London in secure, comfortable, and modern student housing, giving a true taste of university life.
