The Space Store launches an out-of-this-world immersive space course this summer for curious minds aged 12–18
Among the fresh produce, cafes and fashion outlets sits The Space Store. This unique independent shop not only offers virtual reality space walks, gifts, cards and all manner of space themed delights, they also run courses dedicated to learning all kinds of things about space!
This year The Space Store is especially pleased to announce that registration is now open for the Oxford Summer Space Course 2026, a two-week immersive programme designed for young people aged 12–18 with a passion for science, technology and discovery.
Following the success of the 2025 course, Summer 2026 invites students to dream bigger and delve deeper into the mysteries of the universe. Hosted in the prestigious setting of Oxford University, the course brings together an exceptional lineup of educators, including NASA engineers, world-class space scientists and Oxford University professors.
Participants will explore a wide range of STEM disciplines within the context of space, with a particular focus on space engineering, physics, maths and biochemistry. Alongside academic learning, students will develop key astronaut skills such as leadership, teamwork and communication, helping to build confidence and strengthen their educational profile for the future.
The Space Store team, based right here in the Covered Market, are always happy to chat and answer questions about the course. Shoppers are welcome to pop in at any time to find out more and pick up further details about registration for Summer 2026.
