DISCORD CHAT CHANNEL
New: For the schools who are in different time zones we have introduced the Discord channel, a chat between students, their teachers and ESPC scientists who will answer their questions! It is an informal way to ask anything you ever were curious about regarding the solar system, exoplanets and stars! Just join the open Discord channel and ask your questions in english. The first EPSC scientist that reads it will answer to you. Please make your questions in English or if you speak another language ask your teacher to write the question in the channel for you. Make sure to choose nicknames for the students who join as we require minors to keep their anonymity. The teachers can join on behalf of their class and ask their questions on their behalf.
The channel is made to give a chance for communication to the schools far from CET time zone, but it welcomes all participating schools of EPSC.
The channel will be active from the 9th to the 20th of September but you can join already by following this link or by scanning the QR code below:
ONGOING ART COMPETITION "#INSPIREDBYOTHERWORLDS"
For all ages: The art competition "Inspired by other worlds" continues until the 30th of September (extended deadline). Some selected works will be presented during the conference. Suitable for older but also younger students who are possibly too young to follow the online talks but do have a passion for space exploration. This year let your imagination take us on a voyage through our Solar System and back to Earth as the theme of this edition is ‘Returning to Earth’.
For more information on the competition and the link to submit your artworks see here.
With the support of: Europlanet Society, EPEC, DLR_School_Lab Berlin, MINToring program, Freie Universität Berlin and Scientix.
