The International Space School Educational Trust (ISSET) is a registered UK charity that was founded in 1998. The aim of ISSET is to utilise space exploration to inspire and motivate young people to believe that they can become what they want to be. ISSET seeks to instil an appreciation of what humans can achieve and encourage young people to make something of themselves, particularly in the careers and study in STEM areas.
Around 400 secondary school pupils from South Wales will attend a one-off summer school lead by NASA astronaut Steve Swanson. The Mission Discovery programme will celebrate the sciences, and the renowned engineer will team up with Bishop Hedley RC High School in Merthyr Tydfil to let pupils spacewalk in an astronaut's shoes, according to Wales Online.
