With Kitsat you can learn what a satellite is like, how it is made, what parts it consists of and how it works. In the non-stop workshop, Kitsat is assembled from ready-made pieces and we get to know the operation of the satellite's measurement sensors.

    Exo Life Workshop

    Science already knows of thousands of exoplanets, whole worlds orbiting a star other than the Sun. We can draw conclusions about the conditions on those planets and use them to guess what life might be like there. In the workshop, you'll get to build imaginative creatures, and animate them against the backdrop of various hypothetical exo-worlds.
