Stuck for ideas for your video or essay?
Here are a few suggestions to help you on your way. Grab your mobile phone camera, digital camera or web-cam and get recording!
You could…
… pretend to be in orbit above the Earth
…use your web-cam to record your own news report about the first man on Mars
…talk from the point of view of an alien looking down on astronauts
…imagine what it’s like to go on a mission to Mars. What would you pack?
…make a mini-documentary about life on the Moon
Don’t forget to include the question you want to ask Piers!
