FOR educators
Space science is a rich and powerful tool, providing educators a wealth of materials and inspiration. The interdisciplinary nature of space makes it a very versatile vehicle to teach physics, maths, chemistry, biology, etc. With its connections to high technology, environment, health and even social sciences, the possibilities are endless.
Engage with Space Toolkit
The Engage with Space Toolkit is a ready-to-use digital collection of space centred activities with a specific focus on girls and underserved communities. The Toolkit is comprised by the Step into Space Exhibition and a set of Educational and Outreach activities. These activities encourage and help schools, youth centers, museums, universities, NGOs and informal learning spaces to bring together students, families, space professionals, their communities and more to engage them with the wonders of space.

space4youth Guidelines
This peer-to-peer event format introduces space topics to a young community. In a co-design session participants learn how to teach, gain confidence in presenting and start sharing their own knowledge and skills with their peers. Further, they will implement their own ideas as an event. The event can be a talk, a skill sharing session, a tour through an exhibition, a workshop, a TedX style youth conference etc. The peer to peer aspect here is most important.
