Earth and Space strand of the Junior Cycle - Sat, 2nd Oct
The ESERO Space Education Confluence is an annual professional learning experience supporting teacher engagement with Earth and Space strand of the Junior Cycle.
Brought to you by ESERO Ireland in partnership with MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory (BCO) and Junior Cycle for Teachers (JCT), the conference used co-creation design principles to learn how it could best support Junior Cycle Science Teachers to engage with the Earth & Space Strand. Teachers showed a desire for a practical element and to focus on E&S 8 (Students should be able to examine some of the current hazards and benefits of space exploration and discuss the future role and implications of space exploration in society).
Thanks to teacher input, ESERO have designed an exciting programme linking Irish and international scientists and engineers from the space sector with the Junior Cycle Classroom. The event will focus on the joint ESA/NASA
Solar Orbiter Mission in the context of the hazards and benefits of space exploration.
This event is free but booking is essential.
