🤖 What if children could build their own rover or even design a Moon base? 🌙
⛺ ESERO’s Space Adventure camps, organised with local partners, turn STEM learning into an unforgettable experience.
🌍 Designed as one-day events or multi-day camps, Space Adventures:
🔹 Use immersive, inspirational STEM activities to spark curiosity, creativity and confidence
🔹 Foster inclusion and accessibility, often in collaboration with local communities
🔹 Reach children and families of all backgrounds, with a particular focus on underserved groups who may have fewer opportunities to engage with STEM
🪐 ESERO Greece is currently running “Mission into Space”, a two-day space camp at NOESIS Science Center and Technology Museum in Thessaloniki. Children are learning about the Solar System, exploring spacecraft materials, landing on the Moon, designing space bases and imagining life on Mars.
🔭 Across June and July, ESERO Slovenija hosted 5 days of programmes, challenging participants aged 8–15 to build rovers and test them on Slovenia's forest terrain, investigate Martian geology, and observe the night sky through telescopes.
💫 In July, ESERO Polska engaged more than 700 children aged 8–12 from disadvantaged backgrounds at the Copernicus Science Centre in Warsaw. Through planetarium shows, interactive exhibitions and creative workshops, participants became space engineers for the day, designing rover prototypes while developing teamwork, problem-solving and scientific thinking skills.
🚀 In 2025, Esero Italia engaged around 300 young people aged 5-18 through Space Adventure events across the country. Designed as a social inclusion programme, the initiative opened access to STEM experiences for young people who might otherwise have limited opportunities to participate. Activities included building propulsion-powered vehicles and robots, exploring planetary science and human spaceflight, a space treasure hunt and investigating materials for future spacecraft.
👩🚀 In December 2025, ESERO Portugal transformed the atrium of the Pavilion of Knowledge in Lisbon into a lunar base. Prepared with sleeping bags and a fellow crew, young astronauts worked together to compelte a mission.
🙏 From engineering challenges to role play missions, Space Adventure shows how immersive experiences can inspire children to see themselves in STEM and challenge the misconception that science and space are not for them. By bringing engaging opportunities to learners of all backgrounds, these programmes help ensure that every child has the chance to discover their potential through space. 🔬
