EcoView ist ein internationaler Wettbewerb für SchülerInnen zum Thema Umwelt und Fernerkundung. TeilnehmerInnen sollen ein kurzes Forschungsprojekt vorbereiten auf Basis von öffentlich zugänglichen Satellitenbildern. Die Ergebnisse werden in einem kurzen Video zusammengefasst. EcoView wird zum dritten Mal organisiert von der Schülerakademie Ukraine. Letztes Jahr nahmen mehr als 150 SchülerInnen aus aller Welt teil. Die Akademie bietet auch einen Online-Kurs (auf English in Google Classroom), um die Grundlagen der Fernerkundung und Datenverarbeitung auf öffentlichen Online-Plattformen einzuleiten.
Hier Mitteilungen des Veranstalters:
Dear Friends,
We, the GIS and Remote Sensing Laboratory of the National Centre „Junior Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Copernicus Ambassadors member, are pleased to extend an invitation to participate in the international competition „Ecoview“ for 14-to 18-year-old students. This event is organised in collaboration with our international partners. Participating in the competition, children will learn how to create their science project based on public-free Remote Sensing data. Satellite images are an essential part of environmental sciences and climate education. Using available data, school students can learn and discover how the climate crisis affects the environment, particularly how climate change has changed their home regions over the years.🌍
We invite you to watch highlights from last year’s competition:
