“Beyond the frame” is an interdisciplinary educational initiative designed to cultivate scientific culture among high school students, combining experimental activities, mathematical modelling, and digital video analysis. Using the open-source software TRACKER, students extract kinematic data from diverse video sequences of moving subjects, progressing from classical mechanics experiments to sports motion analysis and, finally, to astrometric tracking of artificial satellites from amateur astronomer recordings. The final phase extends beyond physics, integrating discussions on the civic and ethical dimensions of space as a strategic resource.
