Memorandum submitted by Dave Wright (UKSA
15)
Space is one of the key tools to inspire young
people to take an interest in the STEM subjects at School. One
role of the UK Space Agency is that of public outreach and Education.
The SARTHE Report, attached here [not printed], argues that a
National Space Conference, including a virtual component would
be a useful tool in developing that role. The welcome recent UKSA
commitment to a National Space Conference suggests both specific
questions about its plans for such an event and wider questions
about an Outreach and Education strategy.
