Universe in a box

Universe Awareness
Netherlands (Leiden)

Submitted by: Skateistan

Universe Awareness (UNAWE) believes that learning about our cosmos and space can help expand children’s worldview and sense of empathy and responsibility to our home planet, Earth.

UNAWE strives to make the wonders of astronomy and space sciences widely accessible by producing a free curriculum and kit called Universe in a Box, which it shares widely – especially to those from underprivileged communities.

Watch ► Kids look up to the stars.
