The concept of a newly developed online teacher training course in robotics by the European Space Agency (ESA) Education Office is presented. The course aims at both primary and secondary school teachers, as the activities proposed are appropriate for students from 8 to 14 years old. Teaching scenario and design strategy of online activities are presented along with the space context used to wrap-up the whole activity. A separate paragraph is dedicated in presenting the activity of Remote Coding. This activity contributes to increase the interactivity of the course and gives participants the feeling of operating a real planetary exploration mission. Finally, a statistical analysis from participants’ feedback is presented. Results show a continuous effort of teachers to implement new Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) tools to their classes along with a clear preference on more interactive activities concerning the online content delivery method.
