A future space base for Thomas Pesquet?
Over the two days, visitors to the Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie had the opportunity to attend many conferences given by space experts as well as by our French astronauts. In addition, CNES wanted to highlight the work done by the young people who participated in its different educational projects during the previous school year, particularly the ESERO France projects.
Thus, Thomas from Le Gymnase Lucie Berger – Jean Sturm high school in Strasbourg had the opportunity to present his lunar base project, developed as part of the Moon Camp project, to Thomas Pesquet and a CNES expert. It was also an opportunity to discuss the project’s feasibility and the progress of future manned lunar missions. Perhaps this will give Thomas Pesquet some ideas?
In space, cooperation is the key
In addition to the many conferences, the public also had the opportunity to participate in various space-themed workshops led by CNES and Planète Science. Meanwhile, the ESERO France team and Instant Science invited visitors to try out their brand-new educational escape game, “Mission ISS.” Developed by CNES and Instant Science as part of Sophie Adenot’s Epsilon mission, in partnership with ESA, this escape game invites participants to step into the shoes of astronauts to explore the International Space Station (ISS) in search of a mysterious air leak.
More than 120 people, from 8 to 70 years old, were able to immerse themselves in the daily lives of astronauts by solving various puzzles inspired by life aboard the ISS. Thanks to a variety of intuitive puzzles, this escape game engaged participants of all ages in a race against time to save the Station.
Designed for players ages 12 and up (or for families), the Mission ISS escape game is suitable for all audiences. If you’d like to try it out, it’s available for download by clicking this link. The downloadable kit is 100% free and includes all the instructions you need to set up and run the escape game in the classroom, at the library, or at home.
