Welcome to StAnD
StAnD – StudenTs As plaNetary Defenders
An Erasmus+ KA220 project that will bring the exciting subject of Planetary Defence to schools in Europe.
Students will have the opportunity to achieve original discoveries regarding asteroids, meteors and meteorites by conducting real research in the classroom using StAnD’s tailor-made activities. These include meteor camera systems, micrometeorite collection kits, and asteroid search campaigns and follow-up observations. Teachers will receive training by participating in summer schools and enrolling massive open online courses.
This website will be continuously updated with project news and resources.
