Abstract: The SunSpaceArt (SSA) project, led by the author, a solar scientist at the University of Cambridge, comprises a diverse team of scientists and visual artists who run STEAM (STEM + Arts) workshops in schools, space camps and at other venues (museums, science centres and so on). The project focuses mainly on 7- to 12-year-olds, which is a key age group for creating a lifelong interest in science. The main aim of the SSA project is to provide cross-curricular STEAM activities that reinforce science learning, ignite curiosity, encourage questioning and develop creativity.
