## Description

Guided by an astronomer, set out to meet the stars by learning to read the sky, from scientific astronomy to the telling of its legends.

- Model of the solar system - Duration 2H

Between artistic creation and observation of the surface of the planets, this workshop, accessible to children from 8 years old, is an opportunity to learn about our closest neighbours and to leave with a model of the solar system.

The apprentice cosmonauts will discover how to get their self-built rocket off the ground by learning the basic principles of propulsion and terrestrial attraction.

- The Sundial - Duration 1 hour
