We’re excited to announce the first slot for an Asteroid Search Campaign for the Erasmus+ project Students As PlaNetary Defenders (StAnD)!
This campaign runs from 25 October to 19 November 2024, in collaboration with the International Astronomical Search Collaboration (IASC).
This is a unique chance for students to contribute to real scientific research by identifying and tracking asteroids — and possibly discovering new asteroids!
If you’re a teacher interested in enabling a team of your students to participate in this campaign — or others at a later date — please contact us at iasc@nuclio.org.
Below are the dates for the 2024 – 2025 StAnD campaigns
- 25 OCT – 19 NOV 2024
- 22 NOV – 18 DEC 2024
- 23 JAN – 17 FEB 2025
- 21 FEB – 19 MAR 2025
- 23 APR – 19 MAY 2025
The StAnD project will bring even more opportunities to bring the fascinating world of comets, asteroids, and meteors into your classroom, inspiring students to engage passionately in STEM subjects!
