Mission: Analysis

Choosing (potential) role models• Instead of being perfect people, they should be ‘real people’, such as:

- People with families, outside interests

- People who faced struggles along the way (e.g. found maths challenging)

- NOT ‘super-geniuses’, not ‘perfect’ (may be especially important for girls)

• Pathways to their jobs

- What attracted them to space science?

- How did they actually get there? (What choices did they make?)

• Acknowledging the reality of the field (lack of diversity but hope for the future)

Project gives access to high-quality resources with a focus on current missions and global concerns:

The resources are created using inquiry based methods and hands on approaches for primary and secondary

schools, and science museums

Ready to use quality material selected through peer-review

Easy integration in European curricula, easy to use in non-science disciplines

High attention to diversity
