Join RAL Space's webinar to hear careers talks from the women who help study our climate from space. Space missions are important not only to look out into space but also to look down at Earth. During this webinar, designed for upper Key Stage 2 students (ages 9-11) and teachers, you will learn what people do in their jobs, their journey from school to today and the variety of jobs young people could do to make a difference. Classes can ask questions and take part in an activity to explore Earth
