Apply for ESA’s teacher workshops

ESA is organising its 9th Summer Teacher Workshop from 10 - 13 July 2018, as well as its 4th Autumn Teacher Workshop from 4 - 7 October 2018.

Both workshops will take place in the Netherlands and are dedicated to European primary and secondary school teachers.

 
The deadline to apply for both workshops is Wednesday 21 March 09:00 CET.

Inspired by real and actual ESA space missions and programmes, participants will be given stimulating talks and training on how to include space in their lessons to make science and technology exciting for their students. Organised around three main space themes, Space Exploration, Earth Observation and Technology, the workshop will provide teachers with a unique professional development opportunity. Training sessions will demonstrate how space can be used to teach science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) curriculum subjects in school.

The workshops will feature keynote lectures from top-level space experts and visits to the ESTEC facilities. During the hands-on sessions, participants will explore and discuss classroom experiments and demonstrations.
This is a unique opportunity for teachers to network with education peers and space experts from across Europe.

The workshops are open to primary and secondary school teachers of STEM-related subjects residing and working within any of ESA’s Member and Associate States.

Teachers wishing to participate in one of the workshops should complete the application form. Teachers are selected based on the information provided. It is mandatory to complete all the fields on the online form.
