British astronaut Tim Peake will be appearing in a BBC Teach Live Lesson filmed at Leicester’s National Space Centre.
The lesson will be broadcast at 11am on Monday 10 March during British Science Week 2025.
Hosted by Grace Webb and Greg Foot, children will find out what it takes to become an astronaut. And Tim Peake, who himself spent 173 days living on the International Space Station, will be setting curriculum-linked tasks for 7-11 year-olds throughout the lesson.
