The Romanian Space Agency (ROSA) is inviting primary and secondary teachers and students to apply for the various school projects of the European Space Agency for the 2022-2023 school year.

There will be exciting challenges starting in September, from training like an astronaut to building your own “micro-satellite”. 

12 September: The European Astro Pi Challenge

Level: up to 19 years old

The European Astro Pi Challenge offers students and young people the amazing opportunity to conduct scientific investigations in space, by writing computer programs that run on Raspberry Pi computers on board the International Space Station (ISS).

13 September: Mission X: Train Like an Astronaut

Level: 8 to 12 years old

Mission X is an international educational challenge that focuses on health, science, fitness and nutrition and encourages pupils to train like an astronaut.
