Our mission is to: fire the spirit of discovery, and in order inspire the next generation of scientists, innovators and explorers, we plan to deliver a schools and public engagement programme using our StarDome mobile planetarium and promote links with local industry and researchers. The aims of this programme are: 1. To show the relevance and application of STEM to the space sector in Northern Ireland and also to everyday life 2. To engage young people with STEM, and as a result encourage the study of STEM subjects to key stage 4 and beyond; 3. To promote the wide range of global STEM careers available within this sector and the opportunities that these present. 4. To showcase and promote STFC technology such as the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) through StarDome Planetarium shows 5. To use the StarDome to engage the public with Space Technology, Astronomy and Astrophysics in an innovative and accessible way.
