ESERO-UK
ESERO-UK (the European Space Education Resource Office for the UK) is an education project from the European Space Agency (ESA).
ESERO-UK has been established at the National STEM Learning Centre through funding from ESA and the Department for Education. ESERO-UK promotes space in the UK and the use of space to enhance and support STEM teaching and learning in the UK.
The resources in this collection bring together materials from ESA and other providers to both promote space exploration, and also help teachers and lecturers to use space as an engaging context for teaching and learning in STEM subjects. In addition to its resource collections, ESERO-UK has established a network of space ambassadors across the UK to actively support partners from the space education sector in their work with schools and colleges.
Further information is available from the ESERO-UK website.

Mini lectures: gravitational waves
This animation describes how gravitational waves were first detected, in 2015, at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), 100 years after Einstein predicted them. Newton’s theory of gravity and Einstein’s theory of General Relativity are briefly described. Taylor and Hulse showed indirect...
Mini lectures: cosmology
This animated video describes how Einstein’s field equations led to the cosmological constant, which was later shown to be incorrect. However, Friedmann and Lemaitre found solutions to Einstein’s equations, if the universe was still expanding. Hubble found evidence from the red-shift of galaxies that the universe...
A robotic arm
In this activity children are challenged to design and make a robotic arm to grab things from a distance. The challenge is based on robotic arms on the International Space Station used to move heavy equipment or perform delicate tasks. Children will:
- discover relationships between the length of a...
