The UK Space Agency ran a £3 million education campaign alongside the
mission to the International Space Station, which blasted off three years
ago today (15 December), to inspire a greater interest and understanding of
science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) as well as space.

The campaign - the largest and most successful ever organised for a
European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut – encompassed 34 separate projects
and covered a spectrum of ages and subjects, including mass participation
experiments in schools using seeds that had been in space.

The report, produced by the UK Space Agency, found one in three UK schools
took part in at least one Principia activity. Every region of the UK ran
school activities with all projects accessible to boys and girls. The
majority of the 34 projects focused on primary school children although
some went right through to university.
