Pupils at the Uptown International School in Mirdif spent 15 hours over the course of two days learning about how astronauts live and work in space, different types of rocket engines and how to track the International Space Station from the UAE.
Pupils tried a replica of sleeping bags used by astronauts on the space station.
They also built model rockets that were able to launch up to an altitude of 300 meters and also tasted freeze-dried food that astronauts eat.
