February 2023

As part of the research project THIS IS (NOT) ROCKET SCIENCE! groups from the Dadlergasse kindergarten visited the Technisches Museum Wien. The children not only learned more about spacesuits and rockets, but also came dressed as astronauts themselves. Together we launched balloon rockets and children drew their rocket plans. Our companion was: astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti as a doll.
