Schools
The Centre is operated by an educational charity but we are NOT raising our educational prices for 2010 and ALL supervising adults with your group are admitted FREE OF CHARGE.
This venue is a discovery centre where everyone can experience Spectacular Science through the medium of interactive hands-on exhibits.
Touch it and see what happens; investigate, learn and have fun!
The site was originally home to The Royal Observatory so we also offer a unique link with astronomy.
Our expanding education programme is suitable for all ages and abilities, incorporating bridge building workshops, telescope tours, science shows, team challenges and much more.
School visits require dedication from the teacher in charge and we strive to make this process as simple as possible. Bookings are taken over the phone removing unnecessary paperwork, risk assessments and visit guidelines etc are available to download from this web site, and detailed timetables are prepared for your day.
We acknowledge the trust placed in us when you arrange a visit and in return we offer a science experience which will support past, present and future learning in the classroom. The Centre has a dedicated team of enthusiastic staff and volunteers who are checked by the Criminal Records Bureau and many of whom are registered STEM Sussex Science and Engineering Ambassadors.
We endorse "Learning Outside the Classroom" and have registered to apply for the Quality Badge which will help teachers, local authorities and families find locations providing high quality learning experiences outside the classroom in an environment that is safely managed.
2009 was "The International Year of Astronomy" (IYA) and with the support of funding from the Science and Technologies Facilities Council (STFC) and The Royal Astronomical Society (RAS) we were able to add to our educational activities and to launch a Mobile Planetarium onto the outreach programme.

Feedback Primary Science AST
"Thank you so much to you and all your team for a most wonderful day of science learning. It never fails to excite and engage every pupil we bring to you. The staff were enthralled with the experience it offered the children - and them!
The organisation was superb, the activities were relevent to our objectives and most of all, everyone had fun taking part.
