The new Immersive Academy complements the National Space Centre's mission to enhance the science and engineering skills pool in the UK currently spearheaded by the National Space Academy, by highlighting new STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths) career pathways.
These new programs will act as a catalyst for young people to consider design, visualization, computer science, games development, filmmaking and animation which are all specialist, high demand sectors in the UK and beyond.
Why Immersive?
The National Space Centre is home to NSC Creative, an award winning immersive production studio that has been running since 2020.
Additional, future programs will be added that give local young people aged 11-16 an opportunity to get hands-on experience and work alongside NSC teams to co-create new immersive experiences. Participants will build confidence and literacy in emerging technology and collaborative, digital working practices. Creating these unique opportunities will open up new possibilities and aspirations in our local communities.
