To schedule robotic astronomical observations. CESAR, an educational project with an astronomical network Educational Approach The project is mainly devoted to High School and undergraduate levels The main objective is to train students in both general science and engineering basics providing them with firsthand experience in astronomy in an IBSE learning environment, having the opportunity to use Internet and computer technologies in conducting observational programs and in generating valuable scientific data. AstroRob 2013 CESAR, an educational project with an astronomical network Educational Approach The project is mainly devoted to High School and undergraduate levels The main objective is to train students in both general science and engineering basics providing them with firsthand experience in astronomy in an IBSE learning environment Observations allow students to learn, with first-order scientific tools, the basics of an astronomical research, aiming to arouse scientific careers and to get interested in science. They are learning science by doing science.
