King\u2019s High School strongly encourage their girls to develop their interests both inside and outside the classroom. This culture of empowerment led one of their girls,\u00a0Eleanor Griffin, to apply to ARISS Europe (Amateur Radio on the International Space Station) for a highly prestigious link-up to the International Space Station.<\/p>\n

When Eleanor Griffin was selected to hold a space conversation with an astronaut, she was inspired to set up the Warwick Mars Project, for students across the Warwick Independent Schools Foundation, to further interest in Space Science. Eleanor says: \u201cThe moon landings belong to the generation of our grandparents, and the International Space Station to our parents. What will happen in our generation? Will Mankind travel to another planet?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

After the ISS contact when asked what this incredible experience had taught her Eleanor replied \u201cJust do it! No one is going to stop you, if you just go and pursue your dreams, you really can do anything.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
