We’re excited to bring you our Autumn 2025 newsletter, packed with updates on all things SatSchool! In this edition you have the opportunity to express your interest in attending our upcoming AGM and joining SatSchool! You can also hear about recent outreach events and catch up with committee members and see what they have been up to. Enjoy!
Event reports from the Dynamic Earth Careers Showcase (Edinburgh), Craigour Park School Visit (Edinburgh) and Explore the Environment from Space Day (Leeds).
We have added two new primary school lessons to our website! These resources are designed to be taught to primary school age students, and include a lesson plan, presentation and worksheet. The ‘Introduction to Earth Observation’ module teaches students how city growth can be monitored from space. The ‘Wildlife from Space’ lesson explores the use of satellite imagery in studying animals. Stay tuned for our Gaelic lessons coming soon!
The event was enjoyed by six hundred secondary school pupils from across Edinburgh & the Lothians, looking for inspiration for future careers in STEM.
Using a grant from the Ogden Trust, SatSchool has been able to better incorporate physics principles into the modules to enhance the educational resources and inspire the next generation of scientists. Click the link above for the full story and check out the Twitter thread here.
On 6th April the SatSchool outreach project was launched at a hybrid meeting, showcasing the results of the team’s hard work over the past six months to put this fantastic program together.
SatSchool is an outreach project aiming to get secondary school pupils excited about Earth Observation and Satellites.
