In early 2023, ESA’s Cheops (CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite) will observe two exoplanet targets, KELT-3b and TOI-560c. By joining a Hack an Exoplanet event, teams of secondary students will get the opportunity to analyse real satellite data collected by Cheops and hack these mysterious alien worlds. This activity is targeted at teams of students aged 14 to 19 years old.
Younger students can learn more about exoplanets with Paxi and submit their artwork to ESA until 28 February in the space gallery competition.

Online and physical hackathons will be organised in April and May 2023, and you can even host your own hackathon at your school! The hackathon activities developed with the support of ESA experts will be made freely available on the platform in multiple languages in early April.
After teams participate in a hackathon, they can submit their project until June 2023 and apply for the Best Project prize.
