What to expect
The ESA Teach with Space Conference features a three-day programme that will provide teachers with classroom activities and online tools that use space themes as an inspiring context for teaching and learning STEM. The conference will also feature keynote lectures from top-level space experts and a virtual tour of ESA's ESTEC facilities. Participants will also have the opportunity to interact and network with their peers and space experts from across Europe.

Participants will explore space from three areas - technology, space exploration and Earth sciences - and learn how these can be integrated in the classroom to teach curricular topics. ESA experts will show the Earth from above and demonstrate how ESA's Earth observation satellites are monitoring our planet. Participants will also learn about exoplanets, 3D design and programming as well as how to build a bionic hand and investigate how to produce rocket fuel from water, among other amazing activities. See the full programme here.

Who can apply?
The conference is open to primary and secondary school teachers of STEM-related subjects residing and working within any of ESA's Member States, as well as Canada, Slovenia, Latvia and Malta.

How and when to apply
Teachers wishing to participate in the ESA Teach with Space Conference should complete the registration form.

To ensure fair access to teachers from all ESA Member States, registrations will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis by country of residency.

ESA Mars orbiters support NASA Perseverance landing
Paris (ESA) Feb 12, 2021
NASA's Mars 2020 Perseverance rover is due to land on the Red Planet at 21:43 CET on 18 February 2021. In order to communicate with Earth from its landing site in Jezero Crater, the rover will rely on spacecraft orbiting Mars to relay the images and other data it collects back to Earth and pass on the commands from engineers beamed across space in the other direction. The ESA-Roscosmos ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) is one of these spacecraft. As its orbit takes it over the landing site, TGO will ... read more
