The youth programm “Beyond” workshop

University of Tartu Observatory in Tõravere is organising a youth educational programme to showcase career opportunities in the space industry. Project “Beyond” is a collaboration between University of Tartu and Space Centre (Observatory) and ESERO. Ten workshops will be delivered by scientists and business owners, true experts in the field. The workshops will introduce exciting opportunities in the space industry and engeneering. Astronomy and space are enticing subjects that can bring children and youth closer to science.

An example of the workshop will utilise a computer game called Kerbal Space, where you can build a launcher which will be sent to orbit and measure the distances between far-far away objects using parallax method. Students can “bake” a comet and plan a mission “Comet Flyby”.

Throughout the workshops the main theme will continue to be the mission to the Moon – Artemis.
