During the morning of February 1st, students from Mirabal School came to ESAC to work on the topograhic studies scientific case using, among other resources, augmented reality.

At the beggining of the visit they had a short talk with our monitors and the coordinator of the CESAR project, Dr. Michel Breitfellner, about the existence of life on Mars and the huge training people have to complete to become astronauts. After this welcoming, one of the classrooms went to a tour around ESAC to learn more about the space missions ESA had acomplished until now.
Menwhile the other classroom started the scientific case about topographic studies, they learned about how to draw and interpreted contour line maps. Althought the great experience was modeling with their own hands different geographic features in real time, using the augmented reality sandbox.
We hope that you had a great time with us and that new scientific vocations had arise.
