🌌✨Cosmic Drawings Project: Inspiring the Future Generations 🚀👩🚀 Did you know that in orbit aboard the Young Professional Satellite, YPSAT, is also 166 artworks from the children and friends of The European Space Agency's workforce?   This unique initiative featured the creative works of 166 young artists, whose drawings were launched into space, highlighting the boundless imagination and curiosity of the future generations 🌠🛰️   As part of our ongoing mission to inspire future generations, the YPSAT team recently visited the French High School Lycee Francais Vincent Van Gogh in The Hague 👉 https://lnkd.in/eNGAXadC   It was an incredible experience to present the Cosmic Drawings project and YPSAT’s broader mission to the students. Sharing the wonders of space exploration and the importance of scientific curiosity with young minds was truly inspiring. Their art will be orbiting our planet for years to come - Maybe they will feel as a part of the European space exploration community themselves? 🌍👩🚀👨🚀   Here are two remarkable drawings from the project, exemplifying the creativity and dreams of our young participants and a glimpse of our presentation at the French High School in The Hague, where we had the pleasure of engaging with the students and encouraging them to dream big and reach for the stars 🌌   The YPSAT motto is "Inspiring the Future Generations," and with the YPSAT team, all of us at The European Space Agency are committed to nurturing the next generation of explorers, scientists, and innovators 🌠👩🔬👨🔧   Stay tuned in the weeks to come for the last results from YPSAT! #YPSAT #ESA #CosmicDrawings #InspiringTheFuture #SpaceExploration #Education #STEM' #SpaceTeamEurope #Ariane6 🚀🌍
