Armed with two educational experiments during his PromISSe mission, ESA astronaut André Kuipers is inviting students aged 10–14 to share his scientific adventure.
André is inviting schools across Europe to learn what is behind seemingly simple phenomena such as convection and foams.
Children have the chance to follow the ‘Take Your Classroom into Space’ experiments with André as part of the ‘Spaceship Earth’ educational programme.
Teachers can order the school kits with the ‘Take Your Classroom into Space’ experiments from the PromISSe website
