Proyecto Educativo con Telescopios Robóticos (PETeR) - Education Project with Robotic Telescopes - is an online laboratory that aims to engage Spanish students in science and technology and to foster the acquisition of STEM skills through their active participation in real astronomical research using robotic telescopes.Through the project's website, the educational community has access to state-of-the-art robotic telescopes and can request astronomical observations and develop scientific projects. The website also offers educational resources on different astronomical topics adapted to primary and secondary school curricula. Teacher trainings on astronomy and the use of robotic telescopes in education are also offered at regional, national and international levels. PETeR is a program of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), managed through its Education, Outreach and Communication Unit.
