ESA’s Education Office is looking for 30 engineering university students who would like to be introduced to the fascinating world of spacecraft communications. The Ladybird Guide to Spacecraft Communications 2020 will run again between 18 and 21 February 2020 at the ESA Education Training Centre in ESEC-Galaxia, one of the two sites of the European space Security and Education Centre, in Transinne, Belgium. 

On 15 October teachers and students from Germany, Spain and Italy spoke live with ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano from the International Space Station. The in-flight call was part of the “Going Beyond”- themed events organised by local ESEROs in Bochum, Granada and Rome. 

ESA Education is inviting university student teams to submit proposals related to designing, building and operating an experiment that will be launched to the International Space Station and hosted inside the ICE Cubes facility for up to 4 months.

During World Space Week 50 primary and secondary school teachers from different ESA Member States and Canada discovered how to incorporate space in their teaching at the ESA Autumn Teacher Workshop 2019. 

Registration is now open for Science Foundation Ireland’s Discover Science & Maths Awards. Click here to register your school.

Each year  incredible science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) work is happening in schools like yours all over the country. Last year SFI presented 620 schools with SFI Discover Science & Maths (DPSM) Awards and hope even more schools will apply for the recognition they deserve in 2019/2020. Schools say that, as well as recognition, the Award brings a range of benefits; it provides a structure for STEM work, raises the profile of science in the school and among parents and increases whole school collaboration.

ESA’s Education Office is looking for 30 talented and motivated university students with an engineering or physics background from ESA Member States, Canada and Slovenia to take part in the upcoming Concurrent Engineering Workshop set to take place between 14 to 17 January 2020.
