About this session

Short introductory presentation on Solar System (creation, other systems, asteroids, icy moons, Pluto, comets)
-
We’ll create with our hands (using clay) ‘solid’ model of astronomical objects (e.g. asteroid Renu, Ultima Thule etc.).
-
We will use the 3D scanning app to create 3D models for 3D printing.
-
We will create videos using the green screen technique, e.g walking on an asteroid.
Goals of this session
This educational youth session wants to “welcome a cosmic crew made up from a mixture of planets and species” and it is a step further of our Mozilla Science 2018 Mini Grant (https://acoaf.wordpress.com). Our aim is, an inclusive* session, to make, to discuss, to inspire, to create – using ‘science’ and ‘fun’ as our primarily tools – in order to raise the awareness in our future cosmic explorations, by applying digital technologies & community building.
(*there will be material for visual impaired people and - if available from MozFest- a sign language translator)
