Are your students curious about our planet and how to protect it? Climate Detectives, a European Space Agency (ESA) project, invites students to investigate local environmental issues using tools like satellite images, climate data, or their own measurements. Through this process, students propose ways to monitor, reduce, or raise awareness of the problem, whilst also building valuable scientific and problem-solving skills.
Discover what it takes to create a real space project from start to finish. The CanSat competition challenges students in TY and Senior Cycle to design, build, and launch a mini-satellite, all within the size of a beverage can. Registration for the 2026/2026 competition will open on 15th September 2025 – check back to register then! CanSat is a competition by the European Space Agency (ESA) for secondary school students. The challenge is to fit a satellite’s key parts—like power, sensors, and communication systems—into a beverage can. Students design, build, and launch their CanSat, collect data as it descends, and send it back to a ground station for analysis.
