• Experiments of the day, start each day with a short experiment that you can also do at home or at school.   
• Parallel splinter sessions with demonstrations of classroom activities for primary and secondary levels, that will explore space themes from three areas – technology, space exploration and Earth sciences. Participants will learn about exoplanets, 3D design and programming as well as how to build a robotic arm and investigate how to produce food in space, among other inspiring activities. Discover in a fun way all the new resources available in the ESA Teach with Space collection.
