Dear CESAR teacher,


Welcome to the international Contest of the "CESAR  Space Science Experiences".

In order to be able to participate in this international contest, your class should have completed their SSE by the end of June by delivering a poster, per working group, where students explain their research to the Scientific Community following the Scientific Method. Short explanatory videos of the posters are also welcome. 

In the " CESAR Space Science Experience Contest", all your contributions will be evaluated independently, for Primary and Secondary school level, taking into account the following criteria:

  • Application of the Scientific Method during the Scientific Challenge: Hypothesis, Research, Conclusion
  • Rigurosity on the use of the concepts.
  • Methodology used for solving a real daily-life issue with real data (tools used,  organization of the team -interactions, roles)
  • Knowledge and ability acquired at the end of the Scientific Challenge.
  • Understanding of the key role of scientistis and engineers in the research topic .
  • Explanation on how the team members could contribute in their future profesions to the development of the research topic studied.
  • Creativity in the communication (poster style & explanatory video)

The winning Team will be invited to "the  Space Science Experience Ceremony", where the CESAR Team will comment their posters and explain the state-of-the-art questions on that research field.

 

For any questions, please  write us to cesar.sse@sciops.esa.int

Looking forward to recognize and celebrate with you all your hard work done with your class during this difficult period,

 

Take good care.
