Other EAAE Projects:

Project Moonwalkers is permanently opened. It's a project that
recognizes the work of any teacher that does significant work about the
Moon with his students. The teacher just has to send us the work and after evaluation, if the work is considered relevant, it will be published on the website with due credit and the teacher will receive a certificate for his work. |

EAAE "Eratosthenes Project" has now finished the 2011's edition. On this project, schools
collaboratively measured Earth's circumference using the angle of the
shadow produced by a gnomon on June 21st repeating the famous experiment
done by Eratosthenes more than 2000 years ago.

Another
EAAE project is the "Sunrise Project" On this project, schools are invited to make pinhole camera long exposure images of solar path around the vernal equinox and make astronomical calculations with them.
