Meet space scientist and Sky at Night presenter Dame Maggie Aderin-Pocock and get your copy of her inspirational memoir Starchild personally signed. Places are strictly limited – this package guarantees your seat at the session and your signed hardback copy.
From a chaotic childhood across thirteen schools to the frontiers of space science, Dame Maggie Aderin-Pocock’s memoir Starchild is one of the most inspiring books you’ll read this year.
This Book Signing package gives you a guaranteed place at Maggie’s session at the Festival of Education on 2 July 2026, plus your own signed hardback copy of the book — collected at the signing.
Starchild tells a story of education and prejudice, adversity and ambition, motherhood, and the moon. From being the only Black woman on her physics course at Imperial College London to groundbreaking work on the James Webb and Gemini telescopes, Maggie’s journey is a testament to what happens when passion and determination meet.
