POP into Protecting our Planet Day on 27th November 2025!
Protecting Our Planet Day (POP) is the inspiring live-streamed event for schools brought to you by the UK Space Education Office (ESERO-UK) at STEM Learning and in collaboration with the European Space Agency and the UK Space Agency.
Join us on Tuesday 27th November when a world full of experts and leading researchers - passionate people working to protect our planet from here on Earth and from space - pop into your classroom. POP25 welcomes new inspirational speakers as well as previous legendary partners popping back in!
Register for POP25 and pop in and out of sessions across the day with your class or whole school.
What happens during POP25?
An audience of over 140,000 joined POP24 last November for a programme of live link-ups with inspirational experts working to tackle climate change and the restoration of nature, interactive primary school sessions, and career journeys from studying STEM to protecting our planet.
This year we are adding even more enlightening sessions for you to pop in across the day…and all with live Q&A with POP25 experts around the world!
Discover how space agencies, satellites and scientists work to protect our planet - how they monitor, model, predict and provide solutions to tackle climate change across the globe. Meet some of the UK's pioneering conservation programmes celebrating the role of trees in protecting our planet and hosting precious biodiversity for us all. Be inspired by panellists in the afternoon career sessions, hear about their backstories in studying STEM subjects to careers working to protect the planet - from Earth and space!
You’ll be able to pop in to favourite topics, book for a session or two, take part in primary school activity sessions, STEM Clubs Hour or join us for the whole day. Check in with student groups, your class or whole school.

Explore a world full of sessions, resources and partners
