Satellite


In the article “Teachers participate in the workshop at Harwell” it talks about the workshop that focused on how satellite can be us in the classroom. The teachers that attend receive hand on experience in the workshop. One experiment used an infrared thermometer to measure the ocean temperature from orbit. The teachers learn that with the use of satellite navigation device they can be able to tell how a person has waited for a bus. And that satellite can help to improve the safety of the land, air transportation and can also help to protect the environment. Emmanuel Ramos, Senior Advisor for the Directorate of Telecommunications & Integrated Applications, state that “Space is a most exciting topic and that by using space when teaching can help convince young people to pursue their studies in science and engineering, preparing the next generation of skilled labour for our society”. Because of this workshop on satellite it will help the teacher to be able to prepare their student for the future.
