Bringing real research to classrooms around the globe is a new trend being explored by several projects worldwide. Is this an appropriate solution to target both the misconceptions and lack of interest for science topics? Can we quickly advance for the construction of curricula that is in accordance with this need? Are educators prepared for this challenge? Are Universities preparing teachers already empowered to use this modern tools and resources? Can there be a global solution that opens equal opportunities for developed and developing countries? What steps are we taking to bridge the digital divide ? How can we use Planetary Science data to target all this issues?
