For teachers
Are you a teacher or educator? The Space Career Launchpad (SCL) helps you support the next generation of space professionals, connect with industry, and link learners to opportunities and resources across Europe.
Resources
Teachers and educators play an important role in inspiring future talent and helping learners develop the skills needed for careers in the European space ecosystem. The Space Career Launchpad brings together educational resources, training materials and professional development opportunities that can support both classroom teaching and lifelong learning.
This section covers topics such as space technologies, Earth observation, geospatial applications, digital skills, entrepreneurship and sustainability. These resources are designed to help educators introduce space-related topics into their teaching, strengthen their own expertise and connect students with opportunities across the wider European space ecosystem.
Training resources
Access educational and training materials.
GEO-Academy provides resources designed to support teachers and educators in integrating Earth observation and geospatial technologies into their teaching. Through dedicated training materials, pedagogical guidance and professional development opportunities, educators can strengthen their knowledge of Earth observation concepts while gaining practical approaches for classroom implementation.
The resources include teaching methodologies, assessment approaches and educational frameworks that help teachers develop engaging learning experiences around geospatial data, sustainability and space-related applications. Whether used for initial teacher training or continuous professional development, these materials support educators in building students’ digital, analytical and problem-solving skills through real-world Earth observation applications.
Girls Go STEM provides educators with free-to-use materials, classroom activities and challenge-based learning resources designed to help students develop digital, entrepreneurial and sustainability skills. The programme combines STEM education with real-world challenges, enabling teachers to introduce topics such as innovation, technology, problem-solving and sustainability through engaging and interactive learning experiences.
Through the Girls Go STEM platform, teachers can access structured learning modules, practical exercises and guidance materials that support the development of critical thinking, creativity, teamwork and digital competencies. Teachers can explore the available learning modules, classroom activities and guidance materials to support their teaching and professional development.
Connect students with opportunities
Guide students toward hands-on experiences such as internships, educational camps, and project-based learning. Highlighted opportunities include the CASSINI Space Camps, CASSINI Hackathons and more.
The EU Space Academy offers a range of online courses and recorded workshops that can support teachers in introducing space-related topics into their teaching. The catalogue covers subjects including Earth observation, satellite navigation, the space economy, entrepreneurship and space technologies, providing educators with practical resources to strengthen their knowledge and bring real-world EU space applications into the classroom.
The self-paced courses and expert-led workshops can be used for continuous professional development or to identify teaching materials and examples that help explain complex space concepts to students. Teachers can explore the full catalogue and select the courses most relevant to their subject area and learners.
