CHAMELEON brings science closer to young minds in Austria

As part of CHAMELEON’s Dissemination and Communication activities, the project is being presented in a series of events from April to June 2025, including “Praterfest” (public holiday event on May 1st), and 17 primary schools across Austria. These events are expected to reach more than 5000 children. The initiative aims to raise early awareness about the project’s main objectives, while encouraging curiosity and active participation among young students.

During these school visits, our partner JOAFG introduced the main findings of CHAMELEON in an engaging and accessible way. To capture the attention of the young audience and help them better understand the benefits of using drones and satellites in rural areas, two tailor-made educational games were developed: the dice game, and the board game, both available in the Communication Material section of our website. These interactive tools allowed students to explore CHAMELEON’s goals in a playful yet meaningful manner, reinforcing learning through hands-on experience.

The activity is part of CHAMELEON’s broader strategy to connect with the public and promote science education from an early age. By inspiring the next generation, the project contributes to cultivating a culture of awareness, inclusion, and innovation aligned with European values.

Further school activities are foreseen in the coming days. The events carried out and those planned, as well as the number of participants reached and expected, are detailed below.
