All second level teachers, teachers in training, and Youthreach Educators are invited to join us for a morning of lectures and workshops to explore Junior Cycle resources that centre on the theme of “Planetary Observation – from Earth to other worlds”.

There will be talks from scientific professionals on soil health, planetary geology, and engineering for space.

Two workshops will be offered concurrently, all teachers can attend both.

• The workshop hosted by OIDE will provide an opportunity for teachers to explore how to live on other planets.
• Caoimhe Lyons from BCO will demonstrate how to use STEMMOS tools in your classroom!

STEMMOS is an Erasmus+ funded project concerning the satellite observations of the Earth, Moon and Mars. Second level teachers can bring ‘out of this world’ learning to their students with teaching resources, a student digital hub and a Teacher Portal with MOOC. Find out more at stemmos.eu.
We hope to hold a space festival as part of this project in 2027! This would be for students who have interacted with STEMMOS in their classroom to participate in so don’t miss out on this introduction!
