EXPLORE

The EXPLORE project brings space exploration into the classroom through immersive, curriculum-aligned STEAM experiences. By simulating real-world analog missions to environments like the Moon or Mars, the project aims to engage students in hands-on learning that fosters curiosity, collaboration, and digital competence.

Key Objectives:

• Engage students in realistic space exploration scenarios aligned with STEAM curricula.
• Equip educators with training in student-centred, inclusive, and digitally integrated teaching methodologies.
• Promote environmental awareness and problem-solving through space-themed learning.

Main Activities:

• Development of an EXPLORE mission kit to support classroom-based space simulations.
• Training and support for educators to adapt the kit to local curricula.
• A hands-on student simulation mission at a planetary analog site, enabling international collaboration with peers and space professionals.

Expected Impact:

• Enhanced student motivation and understanding of space science and sustainability.
• Strengthened digital and collaborative skills among students.
• Improved teacher capacity to deliver engaging, digitally supported STEAM education using innovative, inclusive practices.
