Become part of the solution!
Take part in an exciting mission together with your pupils and become climate detectives!
The school project initiated by the European Space Agency (ESA) is aimed at young people between the ages of 12 and 19. The classes are invited to investigate real environmental problems in order to help protect our planet.
OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
This project has the following objectives:
- Raising young people’s awareness of climate change at a global and local level
- Promote their skills in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)
- Introduction to scientific work, data analysis and earth observation
- Preparing for the major ecological challenges of their generation
Le projet est divisé en 4 phases
Identifying an environmental problem
During this phase, the teams have to identify an environmental problem they want to study. Following the submissions, experts specializing in Earth and climate observation will examine the projects and give their opinion to all the teams involved in the project.
Registration from 22 October 2023
Investigating the problem
During this phase, students collect, analyse and compare data in order to draw conclusions about the problem they are studying. Students are encouraged to use a variety of data sources, including local measurements and the use of tools such as the EO Browser for satellite images or air quality station.
Students have the opportunity to interact environmental experts via webinars organised by ESERO
Share your results and make a difference
Based on the results of their research, the students propose solutions that should help to solve the problem analysed. The teams share their work with the Climate Detectives community.
Clôture des soumissions le 25 avril 2024
Final event
All teams that share their results receive a certificate of participation. The best team will have the chance to take part in a unique international event, where the importance of satellites in understanding, mitigating and predicting the effects of climate change will take center stage. The event will take place at ESA's Earth Observation Centre (ESRIN) in Italy in May.
