ESERO/ESA projects

[Keith Quille]

Dear CESI community,

       It is with great pleasure that I can forward all of the following amazing projects from ESERO/ESA. In particular, I would like to flag/announce that the CanSat challenge will now accept micro:bit’s as the controller (as well as the Arduino). We have some more to follow on this, including a PD session – but this will be announced later in the month. There are some amazing projects to select from/get involved with!

 

 

ESA School Projects

 

 

The European Space Agency (ESA) has four exciting school projects for secondary schools this year.   These projects replicate real science projects and give the students opportunities for hands-on learning and a chance to develop their scientific skills and 21^st Century Skills.  The ESERO Ireland Office will be hosting virtual Teacher Information evenings for CanSat, Astro Pi and Climate Detectives  projects

 

 

Learn to code while exploring space! You can conduct scientific investigations in space by writing computer programs that run on Raspberry Pi computers aboard the International Space Station! Two missions are available for beginner and more experienced coders in the Astro Pi competitions: Both missions will launch on 13^th September.

Mission Zero is for those beginning to code and our online Mission Zero Teacher  Information evening is on Wednesday 15^th September at 7pm.  Register here. 

 

Mission Space Lab is for more experienced coders and the online Teacher Information evening will take place on Wednesday 29^th September at 7pm.  Register here.

 

 

 

CanSat Ireland kicks off on 27^th September with an ESA CanSat Open Day (more information to follow).  CanSat is for senior cycle students.  They are provided with an Arduino kit which they use to build their own satellite.  ESERO Ireland is hosting an online CanSat Teacher Information session on Tuesday 21^st September at 7pm  Register here

Note:  students who complete the ESERO – Design and Build a Satellite with Micro:bit module on CSLINC may go on to enter the CanSat competition if they choose.

 

 

 

 

Climate Detectives is for students aged 8 to 15 years old and will launch on 14^th September.  Students identify a local problem, investigate it using real data and then propose some solutions.  ESERO Ireland online teacher information session for Climate Detectives will take place on Tuesday 28^th September at 7pm.  Find out more and register here.

 

 

 

Launching on 15^th September the Moon Camp Challenge enables students to use innovative learning technologies to design their own Moon settlement with a 3D modelling tool (Tinkercad or Fusion 360).  There are three different categories for this challenge.

Moon Camp Discovery:  recommended for students aged 6 to 14 years old.

Moon Camp Explorers:  up to (and including)14 years old

                                            Moon Camp Pioneers:  15 to (and including) 19 years old.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kind regards,

Keith Quille

This is great but they need longer notice.

Any way of getting a longer term plan?

 

 

Thanks

 

Tom Farrell.

Tom, 

Whilst I can't comment on any of the others I'm more than happy to provide additional information on AstroPi if required. 

Kind Regards

@Tom

I agree it's hard Tom at the start of the year when Young Scientist deadlines loom and all these things seem to come expecting you're ready when kids barely have their class timetable in their journal.

It's certainly something that had stopped me getting involved initially because September is so busy.

What I didn't realise at the time is that Mission Zero takes only a class or two to complete with students though and the deadline for submission isn't till March 18th 2022.

Mission Space Lab has an earlier submission date of 29 October but you only have to get an idea submitted and you can have five students on a team, it's very achievable. Once your idea is submitted, you don't have to get any code in till the 24 February 2022. We're having a Zoom call two weeks from now at 7pm on Wednesday the 29th of September where teachers can chat about project ideas and there'll be someone from ESA on that call. The idea submission deadline is a full month after that.
