July 20th to July 24th
Due to the ongoing situation and travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Astronomy Education Adventure in the Canary Islands 2020 will be held online.
This course is organised in the framework of teacher training activities of the European School Innovation Academy.
NUCLIO and IAC (Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias) join hands to promote another unforgettable Education Adventure in the Canary Islands with a special edition entirely online. This year’s main theme will be “Exploring Stars and Other Worlds”. Do you think you can involve your students in real research experiences? Could you or one of your students discover a new planet around another star? Well, the answer is yes and it is not as hard as you think. By introducing innovative learning methodologies, you will be able to deliver curriculum content while bringing research and space exploration much closer to their reality.
During five days, you will be able to discover the secrets of the stars and their planets, understand how they are detected and how their properties are studied, learn how to program observations with professional robotic telescopes, as well as practice with visualization and analysis programs of astronomical images specially developed for educational use and with real data obtained with the Liverpool Telescope, the LCO network telescopes and ESA’s scientific space-missions.
