A l'occasion du centenaire de Port-Aviation, premier aérodrome organisé au monde, un rendez-vous ARISS est organisé pour deux écoles de la ville de Viry-Châtillon(91). Bonne écoute sur 145.800Mhz ou via le canal AMSAT sur Echolink.
The Albert Camus school currently has 180 pupils divided into 8 classes from 1st to 5th grade. It also has the distinctive feature of being the only school in the area to be open to visually impaired children gathered within a specialized class. These children, who are either partially sighted or blind, are provided education in a small group class, and on specific time slots, they are also integrated into the ordinary classes that have 26 pupils on average. The 5th grade class that is participating in this project has 28 pupils, 14 boys and 14 girls, aged 9 to 11.
The Jules Verne school has some 240 pupils divided into 11 classes going from 1st to 5th grade. In this school some children of non French speaking origin or background are taken care of on specific time slots and within a specialized class to learn French. This school is also located in a Priority Education Area. The 4th grade class that is participating in this project has 22 pupils, 10 girls and 12 boys, aged 8 to 10.
On the occasion of ARISS Project, the pupils of both participating classes have met many times. This resulted in the setting up of a website on the work that has been achieved since the beginning of the academic year and which will be carried on until the satellite link with the astronauts.
The website address is the following: http://ecole.verne.free.fr/contact/
