Every year ESA runs international school projects that engage students in a multidisciplinary mission, just as in real space practice. Through these projects students are able to reinforce their knowledge of curricular STEM subjects as well as develop skills and competences.
By participating in Astro Pi, Mission X, Moon Camp, CanSat and Climate Detectives, your students can learn about Earth’s environment, train like an astronaut, design a Moon base, develop a “micro-satellite” or program a computer onboard the International Space Station.
