It is a teaching project designed to use space to enthuse primary and secondary students to study science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects. The office is funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Department for Education. As well as providing an overview of ESERO-UK, the article also describes the brand new eLibrary, a community-driven online bank of teaching resources for STEM subjects.
