ESA Euronews: A can-size challenge for European students
Flying your very own rocket with its model satellite – this was the challenge facing high-school students from all over Europe this summer for the first ever European CanSat competition in Norway.
It''s absolutely amazing that when compared to videos of similar contests in the US, a large (if not half?) proportion of the contestants are girls. Is it just my skewed perception of things? Or do Europeans do a better job at involving the fairer sex in research and science?
