The document discusses the growing trend of students using crowdsourcing platforms like Kickstarter and IndieGoGo to fund their tuition and projects. While crowdsourcing has been successful for some, others are skeptical about whether it is a reliable way to raise funds. The document also examines how crowdsourced campaigns can engage audiences through social media and capture people's short attention spans. However, some argue that relying heavily on public donations could shift research priorities and result in less government funding for science. Overall, the document presents differing views on both the opportunities and challenges of crowdsourcing as a means of financing education and projects.
This document summarizes a work based learning module at the University of Roehampton that provides students opportunities to gain practical work experience through placements. The module aims to help students develop employability skills over 200 hours spent in a placement and related coursework. Placements include volunteering at non-profits, working in schools, and assisting at university departments. Students provide feedback that the module helps improve their communication, confidence, independence, and understanding of their own strengths. While resource-intensive, there is faculty support for the program due to its benefits.
The document outlines the government's budget proposals across 9 pillars including agriculture, rural development, social sector, education, skills and job creation, infrastructure, financial sector reforms, governance, fiscal discipline, and tax reforms. Key highlights include doubling farmers' income, rural employment, health coverage for all, increasing education quality, skill development programs, infrastructure investment, financial stability, ease of doing business, prudent fiscal management, and reducing the tax compliance burden. The document then provides more details on initiatives and allocations for agriculture, rural development, social programs, education, and skill and job creation.

Globalisation, climatic change and the exponential development of science and technology are compelling into the transition from Consumer Society to a Knowledge based Society, a society capable of developing itself durably in an enviroment which is limited in terms of matter and energy.
In the present context, supporting the young and guiding their intellectual and emotional development becomes crucial, for they are the ones who will actually conduct the implementation of this change. It will be their knowledge and their abilities to understand and to wisely manage the inherent crises of the globalisation process that the quality of our life, and maybe even the survival of human species, will depend on.
Without a coherent cooperation between family, school and social environment – in both its public and private dimensions – there is no means to ensure that critical mass of expertise, capable of managing coherently and equitably a social transformation of this scale.
In order to initialise such a process we need a „seed”, a place where the actors involved in this educational metamorphosis can meet on equal positions.
We have named this retort for the recrystallisation of the educational process „NEXUS” – a space for personal development, for motivation and for nurturing the abilities required by the features of a Knowledge based Society, a space for the awareness of the individual toward social, economic and cultural problems that affect humanity at regional and global level.

The Science Clusters aim to sustainably support interdisciplinary research on issues like climate change and pandemics. They request basic and user-friendly services from EOSC to ensure it is a reliable and usable platform for the long term.
ENABLING INTERSTELLAR TRAVEL: THE NEED FOR A DIVERSE MIX OF ADVANCED ENERGY C...AM Publications
This paper represents a joint effort of various scholars, independent scientists and a student operating through the Interstellar Travel MeetUp group, based in Washington, D.C. in the United States of America. The project was presented during the 68th International Astronautical Federation Congress, which took place in Guadalajara, Mexico in 2016. Our paper provides a systematic evaluation of power systems in terms of their power generation capacity, size, risks and availability led to the finding that no current one single power system can be relied upon for interstellar travel. Our contribution offers considerations on topics such as space resupply stations, wireless power transmission to spaceships (while at high velocity, using tracking/tethering with lasers), as well as harvesting drones. Futuristic propulsion technologies like the ionic levitation, laser, warp and solar concentrator are considered as alternatives for current propulsion systems. In addition to placing an emphasis on fundamental physics and propulsion research, the authors propose two novel initiatives that will advance interstellar technology while producing already-valuable technologies for terrestrial and orbital use: 1) An educational development initiative – The ‘Nicola Energy City Kit’is based on existing wireless power transmission technology and existing CanSat technology – to advance wireless power and data transmission for terrestrial and interstellar use. These technologies can affordably be tested on Earth first, and then in space. We propose a broad-based open education program that also motivates students to engage in STEM-related jobs. 2) A mobile save testing bed (‘sandbox’) for radical energy concepts – The UMPH lab is an unmanned outpost that accumulates large quantities of matter in save distance from Earth and conducts autonomous experiments, while harvesting energy or matter for the science and in-orbit resupplies.
Following suit to Series I & 2 presenting just some of UTC’s start-ups, we offer our readers the Series II which

ASTRONOMY IN EDUCATION SIMULATING SPACE RESEARCH EXPERIMENT IN THE CLASSROOM...Sheila Sinclair
This document discusses a project-based learning activity on astronomy and space research for secondary education students. The activity is inspired by the annual European Astro Pi contest run by the European Space Agency (ESA) in collaboration with the Raspberry Pi Foundation. In the activity, students are asked to design a space experiment to investigate possible variations in the interior environment of the International Space Station (ISS), such as temperature and pressure, during its day/night cycles using sensors. Students simulate their experimental designs on Earth by testing them during terrestrial day/night cycles. The goal is to develop students' scientific knowledge, cognitive skills, and ability to collaborate through an engaging hands-on learning experience focused on real-world problems in astronomy and space research.
Designing access to audiovisual cultural heritage. The case of the CarrotMariana Salgado
This paper presents the design of an application
for engagement with audiovisual digital cultural heritage in
the classroom, called the Carrot. The aim of this interactive
tool is to make online cultural heritage accessible and
understandable for students in different levels of education.
In relation to this work we pose two research questions: Why
do we need to develop tools for contextualization of
audiovisual cultural heritage? And: How do we design and
develop such tools? The preliminary answers to these
questions come from our experiences in the design process,
which deepened our understanding of a tool in the context of
the classroom. We then relate this to the digital humanities
project, EUscreenXL. Initial conclusions suggest that tools
for contextualization of audiovisual cultural heritage can
engage students with cultural heritage, develop digital media
literacy, and support contemporary didactics. These tools
need to be developed across platforms, using nonproprietary
software and involving a multidisciplinary
group of experts.

Open Science - Paradigm Shift or Revival of Old Ideas?Heidi Laine
Open science is both an old idea and a new paradigm. While openness has long been a principle of science, tools now enable unprecedented sharing of data and collaboration. This represents both continuity with past openness and a potential shift in how science is conducted. Open science may transform scientific practice through new tools and attitudes that facilitate global sharing of research. However, openness also presents challenges regarding privacy, complex issues, and influencing results that must be addressed.

2. About Exosphere
Exosphere is a learning and problem-solving community based in Viña del Mar, Chile, and with
active operations across Latin America and Europe since September 2013. In just 18 months,
Exosphere has conducted three 8-12 week boot camps and has traveled to 16 cities with its
Exobase workshop series and its team has grown to 15 people. Exosphere’s mission is to build a
lasting institution that fosters a culture of lifelong learning and creativity through improved
education, incubating entrepreneurial endeavors, encouraging scientific research, and bringing
people together in community.
Exosphere is dedicated to leading a new generation of pioneers to bring positive change to the
world through technology and social innovation.
Exosphere is a new kind of institution designed to play the roles that our now dysfunctional
institutions are no longer able to play by helping people:
- Learn at all ages, and continue learning throughout life
- Build lives and livelihoods around meaningful, impactful, and creative work
- Understand themselves and others through self-examination and community-building
- Advance science and technology to improve the lives of all people on earth and explore space
and its limitless possibilities
- Engage in critical thinking and cultural production through literature, art, and music
Not everybody wants to be a scientist or an engineer, but everybody can become a hacker and
play a part in bringing about the breakthroughs in human existence that are almost within reach:
abundant energy and food, the end of disease, radical extension of human life, rapid
transportation, immersive virtual reality, and more. We need to hack both science and society:
government, education, architecture, food–everything.

3. The Copernicus Series
Exosphere’s Copernicus Series brings Exosphere’s entrepreneurial and experience-oriented
philosophy of learning to science and technology in the aerospace field and helps bridge the gap
between research and business, breaking down the silos of knowledge that have been built up in
modern society. Among the goals of the Copernicus Series is to provide young people a hands-
on learning experience that is directly connected to leading-edge research in science, which is
usually only available to graduate and post-graduate students.
Exosphere’s thesis is that countless young people opt out of careers in science and
technology because science education fails to expose them to the interesting applications
of science to their life and the problems of the world. Furthermore, careers in science have
come to be attached to a stigma concerning their earning potential, especially in traditional
academia.
The mission of Exosphere’s Copernicus Series is to expose youths to the exciting potential of
science while helping experienced researchers commercialize and profit from their innovations
through entrepreneurship. Through this process, the program will serve as an ongoing, productive
platform for building the requisite brain trust of experts and practitioners in academia and
industry to provide the resources and know-how necessary for further development of space
related technology into commercializable endeavors while advancing space research and raising
awareness for space exploration.

Copernicus is an Exosphere program focused on experiential learning in
science and technology in aerospace engineering and related fields.
The 3-week program will be comprised of participants from diverse
backgrounds in science, mathematics, engineering, and economics,
ranging from recent high school graduates to professionals in academia
and the aerospace industry.
7. Copernicus I
GOALS AND DESIRED OUTCOMES
The goal of the program is to design, build, and test virtual models and software libraries that
model the technical development and surrounding economic environment of an
Endogenously-Powered Space Elevator, which would utilize the energy generated by gravity
using materials brought back to earth by space mining companies. This process would create an
electrical loop, allowing satellites, scientific equipment, and other materials to be taken to space
at near zero marginal cost. Split into two teams, the Technical Team and the Economics Team, the
participants will further build mathematical models for an architecture capable of delivering these
payloads into orbit.
Space mining companies will, in the near future, be delivering payloads from space back to
earth, providing enormous quantities of potential “fuel” in the form of work done by the
gravity of the falling payload. The thesis to be tested and developed by participants in
Copernicus is that this energy can be harnessed using an electromagnetic drive to lift up
payloads from earth.
The original concept for the Zero Energy Space Elevator actually comes to us from antiquity,
when Roman scientists considered building an aqueduct harnessing the potential energy of
falling rocks to move water upward. The Roman joke was that this “perpetual drive” will work until
mountain ceases to be a mountain. Our objective is, among others, to deliver a payload to space
in an economically viable way in cooperation with a space mining company, catalyzing the
space exploration revolution, which today is held back almost singularly by the cost of
catapulting payloads out of earth’s atmosphere using expensive rocket fuel.
The current concept of the space elevator includes a tether stretching from the surface of the
Earth to geostationary orbit. To keep the tether taut with gravitational and rotational forces, the
center of mass of the space elevator has to be kept above this orbit. A climber is attached to the
tether, which carries the payload up to the space station or to a satellite. The energy supply in our
hypothesis would be derived from the falling mass using electromagnetics or other potential
mechanisms, making our hypothetical model bi-directional instead of uni-directional, as are most
existing models. As there are multiple possibilities for achieving this, part of the challenge
presented to participants of Copernicus is to model each possibility and analyze both the
technical and economic benefits and challenges of each.
7
8. The Economics Team in particular will produce a white paper on the economic desirability of a
merger, joint venture, or consortium structure between space mining companies (e.g. Planetary
Resources, Deep Space Industries) and a newly-created space elevator O&M company.
At the end of the program the participants will attempt to integrate the physical and economic
models of the EPSE into a dynamic mathematical model using mechatronics concepts. Building
on the results of this work, participants will write a final paper to be submitted to Open Access
journals and scientific conferences.
TWO TEAMS
Participants join either the Technical Team or the Economics Team. Depending on their level of
expertise, their role in the team is different. Experienced academics and professionals from the
industry take on an active role in co-facilitating the research while students with less experience
learn by working with them.
TECHNICAL TEAM
Participants who are part of the Technical Team will learn and carry out all the steps that are
necessary to perform technical modeling of space elevators. They will receive a broad overview
of the engineering processes in the space industry and the tricks of the trade for modeling
mathematical calculations in software. Furthermore, they will learn the basics about space
elevator physics, space mining, how to assure they obtain high quality data and how to clean the
data from artifacts. They will gain insight into solar system physics and mechatronics concepts.
Over the duration of the program, the team’s goal will be to investigate the technical
feasibility surrounding the construction of an endogenously-powered space elevator and
compare its benefits and disadvantages with already existing models.
ECONOMICS TEAM
Participants who are part of the Economics Team will learn and carry out all the steps that are
necessary to perform economic modeling of space markets. They will receive a broad overview of
the social dynamics of space exploration and the tricks of the trade for data processing.
Furthermore, they will learn the basics about space elevator physics, space mining, how to
assure to obtain high quality data and how to clean the data from artifacts. They will also develop
an understanding of space financial instruments (e.g. futures, swaps) and space law.
Over the duration of the program, the goal of the team will be to investigate the economic
and financial feasibility of the construction of an endogenously-powered space elevator
and compare its relative marginal cost structure to those of existing models.

9. CURRICULUM
The theory sessions are brief introductions to the concepts and topics. They serve to get
participants and staff on the same page and provide the frame for conducting the actual
research. All theory sessions are attended by participants of both teams.
In addition, it is recommended that members of both teams complete a series of suggested
online courses prior to attending the program that will provide them with an introduction to the
science of the solar system, nanotechnology and R programming.

11. Exosphere Content
Each of Exosphere’s programs is designed to provide a unique experience to its participants,
and while we continue to launch new versions, focused on different end-goals, there are central
threads of commonality that unite all of them. Foremost is our dedication to people, both in their
development and growth as individuals and by building community with one another to create
deep ties and lifetime friendships. Second, we endeavor to provide a balance between
philosophical exploration and practical application, and thus basic principles of
entrepreneurship are woven into all of our programs.
Topics to be covered over the course of the program include, but are not limited to:
antifragility, discipline, self-reliance, cognitive biases and personality, as well as
community building.

16. Why is the space elevator important?
Our society has changed dramatically in the last few decades from the first transistor to the
internet, smartphones and supercomputer laptops, from propeller airplanes to men on the moon,
from hybrid plants to mapping human DNA. Often great advances in our society take a single,
seemingly small step as a catalyst to start a cascade of progress. And just as often the cascade
of progress is barely imagined when that first small step is taken. The space elevator could be a
catalytic step in our history. We can speculate on many of the things that will result from
construction of a space elevator but the reality of it will probably be much more. At the moment
we can at best speculate on the near-term returns of a space elevator. To make a good estimate
of the returns we can expect we need to know where we are now, how the situation will change if
we have an operational space elevator and what new possibilities this change will cultivate.
First, where we are now:
- Getting to space is very expensive: millions for the launch of a small payload to low Earth orbit,
$400 million in launch costs to get a satellite to geosynchronous orbit and possibly trillions for a
manned Mars exploration program.
- Operating in space is risky. There are few situations where repair of broken hardware is
possible and believe me launch shocks do break hardware.
- Because of the limited, expensive access to space and the risk involved in space operations
the satellites placed in space are also expensive and complex
- It is difficult to bring things back down from space. The only real exception to this is the space
shuttle.
- Neither the government nor the public accepts failure well in the space program. That’s the
current situation.
16
17. 17
An operational space elevator will be able to:
- Deliver payloads with minimal vibration.
- Bring heavy and fragile payloads down from space.
- Deliver payloads to space at a small fraction of current costs.
- Send a payload into space or receive a payload from space every few days.
- Be used to quickly produce additional cables or increase its own capacity.
- Survive problems and failures and be repaired.
- Place heavy and fragile payloads in any Earth orbit (with a circularizing rocket)
or send them to other planets.
18. Having an operating space elevator would dramatically change our ‘reality’ picture of space
operations as we described above and “upgrade humanity’s operating system”. With this new set
of parameters for space operations and the same economic reality we live in, we could
reasonably expect the following in roughly chronological order:
- Inexpensive delivery of satellites to space at 50% to possibly 99% reduction in cost depending
on the satellite and orbit. This would allow for more companies and countries to access space
and benefit from that access.
- Recovery and repair of malfunctioning spacecrafts. Telecommunications companies could fix
minor problems on large satellites instead of replacing the entire spacecraft.
- Large-scale commercial manufacturing in microgravity space. Higher quality materials and
crystals could be manufactured allowing for improvements in everything from medicine to
computer chips.
- Inexpensive global satellite systems. Global telephone and television systems would become
much easier and less expensive to set-up. Local calls could be to anyplace but maybe Mars (at
least initially).
- Sensitive global monitoring of the Earth and its environment with much larger and more
powerful satellites. Extensive observing systems could be implemented to truly understand
what we are doing to our environment.
- Large orbiting solar collectors for power generation and transmission to Earth. Power could be
supplied to rural communities around the world.
- Multiple, large and inexpensive spacecraft for solar system exploration. Instead of very
expensive small spacecraft taking a few photos we would have less expensive, larger
spacecraft doing long-term planetary studies with videos, and a suite of every valuable
scientific instrument to fully understand our neighbors.
- Orbiting observatories and interferometers many times more powerful than Hubble or any
Earth-based radio telescope. Instruments many times the size of Hubble could search for and
image planets around near-by stars.
- A manned space station at geosynchronous orbit for research, satellite repair, commercial
manufacturing operations and prep facility for deep space and solar system exploration
probes. This would be a giant leap in man’s occupation of space and it could come soon after
construction of the first elevator. A large station (the size of a small town) could be placed in
orbit and manned with a permanent crew (not only professional astronauts) doing valuable
space work on satellites and research.
- Manned Mars exploration and colonization. This is a large-scale occupation of Mars (hundreds
of people) in the near future with a very affordable budget.
- Removal of man-made space debris in Earth orbit. Our space debris is causing problems for
satellites and this would allow us to clean it up on a realistic budget.
- Spin-offs would include high-strength materials, better global weather monitoring, highpower
lasers, and high-purity and perfect structure materials.
- Military operations would be dramatically altered with almost unlimited access to space.
- Future mining of near Earth asteroids for rare metals.
- Future vacation facilities in space. This won’t be tomorrow or in the first year of operation of the
space elevator but with an aggressive program our children could make reservations for a week
in orbit and afford it.

19. Post-programme in Hungary
The Copernicus Space Science Laboratory program serves as the pilot program in Exosphere
Labs, which is the scientific education and research & development arm of Exosphere. Following
the completion of the program in Hungary, Exosphere plans to build on this experience and
expand the Copernicus series. Future Copernicus programs will focus on a different technical
challenge related to space exploration or colonization, utilizing the concrete challenge to advance
participants’ knowledge of the physical sciences while working on real research alongside
academics and professionals in the field.
In the short term, depending on the success of Copernicus I, it is our intention to pursue
further technical challenges related to the Space Elevator to take advantage of the
enhanced knowledge gained from the first program and to solve other outstanding issues
that are frequently cited as reasons that the Space Elevator cannot be built.
Through this process, Exosphere will be able to pursue and achieve its longer-term goals,
including:
- Expansion and strengthening the initial network and platform for students, researchers and
practitioners focused on space-related science and technology built during the first program.
- Development of a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) surrounding the topics of study, which
can be used by others during and following the programs.
- Iterative development of an online platform for crowd-engagement in Open Science that will
first be applied to Copernicus’ uses in space research and subsequently to other areas of
research pursued by Exosphere’s other labs, giving the software developed an impact well
beyond the timeframe and scope of the present project.
- Actualization of any of the programs’ solutions to specific technical problems or the usage of
theoretical frameworks developed by the programs in other researchers’ further development
of the concepts.
In using the Copernicus series as the main vehicle for pursuing these goals, Exosphere will
be leading a new generation of pioneers to bring positive change to the world through
technology and social innovation for years to come.
