What kind of projects are running in ASGARD?

Many teachers ask us examples of students projects that have been performed in the ASGARD projects. Therefore we ask every team to produce a ‘scientific poster’ at the end of their ASGARD mission, so they learn to communicate about it, and we can share it with other teams for inspiration. Below, you find the posters that were made by some of the ASGARD teams in the past. The message to future teams is: please send us a your poster too, we will publish it here!

How to produce your scientific poster for ASGARD?

Your team is free to have a poster style you prefer. Here are some important guidelines:

  • Rather use images and graphs than text if possible (but make sure to add desciptions or clarification if needed).
  • Look at some examples on this page to inspire you.
  • You can base the main structure of the poster on the usual subtitles of a scientific publication:
    Abstract – Introduction (research question) – Materials and methods used – Results – Conclusions/discussion.
  • Send your poster to ESERO Belgium by 31 May in PDF format. We will publish it on this page, so your teamwork will be visible for any visitor and will inspire other teams.
  • Don’t forget the basic data of your project: date, school (name + location), Team (students, ages, teacher, team name, team photo).
  • Please put the project title ‘ASGARD” and the picture below – names and logos of the project organisers – on your poster.

VIDEO: Testimonies of ASGARD teams

We posed some questions to a team from primary and a team from secondary schools about their ASGARD participation. Get inspired by their story. Some examples of question they have answered:

  • What is the name and the objective of your experiment? Why did you choose this?
  • Who did what? How were you supported by the schools and the teachers?
  • What have you learned, and how did it feel to run an ASGARD experiment as a team?
  • Is it a lot of work? Is it challenging (as a student and as a teacher)?
  • Why would you advice other to participate? What tips do you have for them?
