Education goals

The Spacelink Service is aimed at helping teachers to:-
 
  • conduction their lessons and out-of-school activities with maximum educational effectives, and in the easiest possible, lowest-cost ways; 
  • enhance students’ motivation to learn, this through making use of the stimulation and excitement resulting from the direct use of satellite, space data and other space-related information; 
  • enhance student knowledge of ICT skills, communication skills and problem-solving capabilities; 
  • as appropriate to student age/ability, enhance student capability to make independent use of Spacelink’s facilities for their work within relevant curricula or beyond; 
  • enhance student ability to question and evaluate all data, to recognise and deal with experimental errors, intrinsic and unintended biases, and to seek comparative and contextual information from other sources.
