Year 8 learners joined an inspiring live-streaming event this morning by the UK Space Education Office at STEM Learning UK for Protecting Our Planet (POP) Day. In collaboration with the European Space Agency and the UK Space Agency, our learners were able to engage with a world full of experts and leading researchers who ‘popped’ into our classrooms and shared their passion about protecting our planet from here on Earth and from space.
We were able to discover how space agencies, satellites and scientists work to protect our planet – how they monitor, model, predict and provide solutions to tackle climate change across the globe. You can learn more about the POP24 sessions here.
During the event, our learners also joined experts live from the RRS Sir David Attenborough, one of the most advanced polar research vessels in the world, as well as a research station in the Antarctic. We have also obtained a ticket in the time capsule that will be going to Antarctica!
