Croatia Space Inspiration Program

HRV:
Primarni cilj projekta Croatia Space Inspiration Program je upoznati djecu osnovnoškolskog uzrasta s fascinantnim svijetom svemira i STEM-a (znanost, tehnologija, inženjerstvo i matematika). Program koristi modificirani NASA-JPL kurikulum koji uključuje zanimljive radionice i praktične eksperimente, a sve je prilagođeno učenicima osnovnih škola. Razredi iz zemalja sudionica povezuju se, dijel

e svoja otkrića i uče komunicirati sa studentima širom svijeta, potičući tako duboku strast prema svemiru i nadahnjujući mlade umove da se bave STEM poljima. Pilot projekt, pokrenut u Zagrebu, imao je za cilj postaviti temelje za kontinuirani tečaj svemirske edukacije. Izuzetan uspjeh ovog pothvata, čak i tijekom pandemije COVID-19 i globalne situacije koja se stalno mijenja, pokazao je snagu suradnje i odlučnosti. Zaklada Lady Rocket i hrvatske škole pokazale su kako suradnja može otvoriti nove i uzbudljive prilike za buduće generacije. Projekt Croatia Space Inspiration Program ulazi u svoju treću godinu, širi svoje horizonte. U partnerstvu s Adriatic Aerospace Association (A3) i više osnovnih škola u Hrvatskoj, CroSIP se širi i nudi svemirsko obrazovanje djeci diljem cijele zemlje. Program također gleda na međunarodno širenje, prenoseći svoju poruku svemirskog obrazovanja u nove države i na nova tržišta. ENG:
The primary goal of the Croatia Space Inspiration Program is to introduce elementary school children to the fascinating world of space and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). The program utilizes a modified NASA-JPL curriculum that includes engaging workshops and hands-on experiments, all tailored for elementary school students. The uniqueness of the program lies in its global outreach. Classes from participating countries connect, share their findings, and learn to communicate with students worldwide, thereby fostering a deep passion for space and inspiring young minds to pursue STEM fields. The pilot project, initiated in Zagreb, set out to test the waters and lay the foundation for a continuous space education course. The resounding success of this endeavor, even during the COVID-19 pandemic and a constantly changing global landscape, showcased the power of cooperation and determination. Both the Lady Rocket Foundation and Croatian schools have demonstrated how collaborative efforts can open new and exciting opportunities for future generations. As the Croatia Space Inspiration Program enters its third year, it expands its horizons. In partnership with the Adriatic Aerospace Association (A3) and multiple elementary schools in Croatia, CroSIP is scaling up and offering space education to children across the entire country. The program is also eyeing international expansions, taking its message of space education to new countries and markets.
