                <description><![CDATA[In this chapter, EU Code Week meets the European Space Agency, ESA on Education. Listen to discover what made the ESA Educators join this task, how ESA sees that SPACE can transform Education in Europe, by educating students from primary school to PHD level with challenging coding tasks and ways to make your projects (literally) be launched into SPACE.
ESA shares how digital skills can be applied to something that seems as unreachable as space and by participating in one challenge be engaged to the topic of space forever, even for people that studied Humanities.
The way ESA educates aims to enriching technologically our society, for students interested in STEM and beyond. 
ESA Education is about raising good citizens, preparing people to take the best decisions and to understand that SPACE and Science are topics that relate to all of us, and not only the technology and coding enthusiast.]]>

                <description><![CDATA[In our first episode for 2024, we had the pleasure of engaging in a fascinating conversation with Koen Timmers. In this insightful discussion, we explored the pivotal role of coding in combating climate change and how it has spurred the creation of the Climate Action Project. Koen, web design professor and teacher for 20 years,created the initiative dedicated to addressing the climate emergency alongside a dedicated community of teachers. We reflect on how technology, for many of us, has proven to be a catalyst, encouraging collaboration and allowing us to confront global challenges collectively. Click on the link and jump in!]]>

Recently, various initiatives and some very smart educators pushing for more girls in coding are tackling this gender gap and gender levelling up in the CODING FIELD. In today’s chapter, we discover the EGOI, the European Girls’ Olympiad in Informatics, on the verge of its 2023 edition in Sweden. Then we head over to Cyprus to learn about the Cyprus Computer History Museum, a computing museum that feeds off female role models in the history of science and technology!]]>
