Space looks like a dreamy destination… but you will not get there in scooter. To explore the unknown and to prepare the future of humanity on Earth and in the harshness of space, bravery is not enough. You also need talent, skills and passion, in various domains. Spatial activities and technologies are present in our everyday life, and it is not only about rockets and satellites. It is also about law, business, politics, security, environment, robotics, medicine, and fundamental science, to name but a few.

 

Assessment method

The Spring school will be preceded by an on-line meeting event, including some general introductory topics to space sector activities and remote demonstration of our astronomical pedagogical facility in Namur. Evaluation will consist of preparing short articles and/or videos, individually or in teams, aimed at presenting correctly one topic of the conference to a non-specialized audience. Quizz on general culture about space will also be proposed to help the students evaluating their knowledge of the subject.
