Callington Space Centre LIVE!!! In January 2010 we made a live broadcast from the Callington Space Centre at www.learnextreme.com Thank you everyone who watched, or attempted to watch!!! We realise that from the feedback that some schools could not watch it, this we think is down to internal network switches/flash drivers external to the space centre. The schools that could watch us experienced 'drop out' We are looking at another solution to solve this problem. However thank you to everyone, the questions where great and hopefully you managed to learn something new and this was a very useful trial of the concept. It has certainly given us some belief We will be repeating the experience so watch this space
