About the innovation

What is The Cosmos in your Hand

What we do?

The exhibition opens the “space of Cosmo” to the research of the visitors, invited to touch with their own hands, see for themselves and interact with devices representing the wonders of the cosmos and the extraordinary human ability to understand and learn.

Why we do it?The experience, created to talk and interact with the younger children, reveals the existence – when stimulated – of a precocious interest for things related to scientific research and questions about the universe. The exhibition is recommended to all the teachers who want to involve their pupils with scientific topics from a very early age
