Erasmus+ KA152-YOU – SPACE & CODE – Young Scientists

The project aims to bring together young people interested in space exploration, aviation, model aircraft, drone technology, coding, robotics and STEM education.

Inspired by the scientific interests of young people in Muş, including those involved in science and arts education programmes, the project will use non-formal learning, practical demonstrations, teamwork and intercultural exchange to encourage scientific curiosity, digital skills, creativity and international cooperation.

Main Objectives
Introduce young people to space science, aviation and engineering.
Develop basic digital skills, coding knowledge and technological literacy.
Explore aerodynamics and the scientific principles behind model aircraft.
Examine educational applications of drone technology and responsible innovation.
Strengthen teamwork, creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving.
Promote intercultural dialogue and cooperation between young people from different countries.
Encourage safe, lawful and environmentally responsible approaches to technology.
Proposed Activities
The exchange may include:

Interactive sessions on space exploration, astronomy and satellites.
Model-aircraft activities exploring basic aerodynamics.
Introductory coding and robotics workshops.
Educational sessions on drone applications, privacy and safety.
International teamwork challenges involving science and technology.
Youth presentations, reflection activities and local follow-up workshops.
All practical activities will be adapted to participants' ages, facilities and safety requirements. Drone-related activities will comply with applicable laws and be supervised appropriately.

Proposed Participants
Gençlik Atlası Derneği initially plans to send a group from Türkiye consisting of:
10 young participants 2 group leaders proposed activitiy duration 7 activity days +2 travel days
We are also interested in cooperation with two European partner countries. The final number of participating organisations and participants will be agreed with the coordinator and partners in line with the programme rules and project objectives.
