2. INSTITUTION BACKGROUND AND PROJECT OBJECTIVES
======================================================================
THE "ECOLE INTERNATIONALE PACA" (EIPACA) IS LOCATED IN MANOSQUE, SOUTH-EAST
FRANCE, JUST 20 KM FROM THE ITER GIANT CONSTRUCTION SITE (INTERNATIONAL
THERMONUCLEAR EXPERIMENTAL REACTOR).
THE CONTACT PROJECT AROSE FROM TWO MAIN GOALS:
- SHOWCASE SYMBOLS OF INTERNATIONAL UNITY: HIGHLIGHT HOW EIPACA, THE ITER
CONSORTIUM, AND THE ISS REPRESENT GLOBAL COLLABORATION FOR THE GREATER GOOD.
- PROMOTE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY: ENCOURAGE STEM DISCIPLINE INTEREST AMONG
STUDENTS, WITH A STRONG EMPHASIS ON BOOSTING FEMALE PARTICIPATION.
DEMOGRAPHICS AND MULTICULTURALISM AT EIPACA:
- HOSTS 900 STUDENTS FROM 47 DIFFERENT NATIONALITIES.
- FEATURES 6 LANGUAGE SECTIONS AND 1 EUROPEAN SCHOOL.
- ORIGINALLY DESIGNED TO WELCOME THE CHILDREN OF ITER STAFF (THE NUCLEAR
FUSION CONSORTIUM BRINGING TOGETHER SOUTH KOREA, JAPAN, EU, SWITZERLAND,
USA, CHINA, INDIA, AND RUSSIA).
PEDAGOGICAL & SYLLABUS INTEGRATION IN CLASSROOMS:
- HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS (11TH & 12TH GRADES): STUDIED AND PERFORMED HANDS-ON
EXPERIMENTS ON AM/FM SIGNAL MODULATION AND DEMODULATION.
- MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS: LEARNED ABOUT CIRCULAR MOTIONS, ORBITS, GRAVITY, AND
ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES USING THE ISS CONTACT CONTEXT.
- ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LEVEL: PUPILS WERE INTRODUCED TO SPATIAL OBSERVATION AND
EARTH SCIENCES.
TECHNICAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT:
PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION AND WORKSHOPS (COVERING RADIO-DETECTION TO RADIO-
COMMUNICATIONS) WERE MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE DEDICATION, SKILLS, AND
UNWAVERING SUPPORT OF THE RADIOCLUB FROM CENTRE D'ASTRONOMIE DE ST-MICHEL-
L'OBSERVATOIRE.
