About Mission Astro

Founded and led by Dr. Sarah Crick, who holds a PhD in Astronomy from the University of Cambridge, the organization operates as the astronomy-focused educational hub under the umbrella company Just Good Science Ltd. 

Rather than keeping astronomy locked away in complex textbooks, Mission Astro translates heavy astrophysics into highly engaging, kid-friendly adventures:

• Online Astronomy Courses: Space-themed digital learning programs designed particularly to enrich home education. 
• Interactive Workshops: Tailored classroom and community group activities designed around school curriculums (from early years foundation stage up to high school). 
• Insight Talks & Assemblies: Lively, engaging lectures covering fascinating space questions like the possibilities of extraterrestrial life. 
• Stargazing Events: NOVAs partner for public stargazing sessions held across various community spaces and venues in England.
• STEAM Craft Kits: Creative, at-home art kits (like mosaic making and glass painting) designed in collaboration with artists to merge science with physical arts. 

The foundational philosophy of Mission Astro is that you do not need to be an astronaut to build a fulfilling career in the space sector. By providing accessible tutoring, free teacher resources, and interactive courses, Dr. Crick and her team of educators aim to equip the next generation with the astronomical knowledge to eventually drive future cosmic discoveries.
