ESA Heroes is an educational app that combines new technologies with satellite data. Created for children, it offers engaging experiences where users can delve into the secrets of satellites and learn about climate change. The app encourages daily actions for our planet and enhances the learning process in schools through the use of augmented reality components. ESA Heroes can serve as a tool for primary school teachers to familiarise their students with climate change issues.
The tool is completely free and available under an educational license.
The "ESA Heroes" project was created by a group of students during the Creative Campus as part of the Direction Earth/Space – an initiative of the European Space Agency, organised in partnership with the European Youth Capital – Lublin 2023 and the City of Lublin.
