Run a space club with no budget, no lab, and no science background of your own. You get a join code, a roster and something to set them each week. It is free, and it stays free.
One short form. You do not need a science lead, a budget, or permission from anyone above you to start.
Six characters. Read it out, put it on a poster, print it on the sign-up sheet.
Pick a mission, do it in the room. The scale-model solar system one works in a corridor and takes an afternoon.
Nothing renews and nothing lapses into a bill. If the club fizzles out in March, that is fine and it cost you nothing.
We designed the missions on the assumption that a library has a room, some chairs and no money. Everything else was a fantasy about what public services are funded like.
The briefs are written for the young person, not for you. You are the person who opens the room and knows their names, which is the part that actually matters.
Under-18 accounts are private by default and the adult-only parts of the platform are closed to them without you configuring anything.
Register the library, read out the join code, run the first session. The whole thing is free and nothing turns into an invoice.
