Benefits of AllSkyKamera EDU

Relevant data sources, a range of STEM subjects and ready-to-use learning modules brought together in one portal.

For teachers

Choose learning modules for primary, lower-secondary and upper-secondary education, use them with learning groups and review results together.

For extracurricular learning venues

Museums, planetariums, observatories, environmental education centres and other venues connect workshops, visits, preparation and follow-up.

Data already brought together

No need to search NASA, GFZ/GEOFON, NOAA, openSenseMap and the AllSkyKamera network separately: data is prepared for learning modules and available centrally.

Many STEM subjects in one place

Explore spaceflight, astronomy, physics, geography, geoscience, environmental observations and sensor data in different learning contexts.

Use and adapt modules directly

Use ready-made learning modules, adapt them for a lesson or workshop, or assemble original content – with data, learning groups, presentations and results in one portal.

For lessons and projects

For teachers and educators

Ready-to-use modules reduce preparation time. Learning groups, presentation mode, results, real data and original content remain clearly connected.

What we do differently

Learning with a world that never stands still

AllSkyKamera EDU combines current research, environmental and space data with interactive and three-dimensional learning components. This creates learning paths built around observing, questioning, exploring and working independently.

Real data

Learners work with traceable research and observation data rather than relying solely on constructed example values.

Interactive exploration

Controls, maps and charts make relationships changeable, comparable and directly tangible.

Three-dimensional understanding

3D visualisations open spatial perspectives on Earth, Mars, the Solar System and other complex systems.

Inquiry-based learning

Develop questions, evaluate observations, test assumptions and place findings in context with evidence.

Self-directed learning

Learners help choose their path, pace and depth while documenting progress in the appropriate learning context.

Static worksheets are not the end point

The world is constantly changing – and so are weather, the environment, views of the sky and the state of research. Digital content should reflect those changes rather than show only a frozen snapshot.
