Descrizione del progetto/Describe the project :
Everyone at home, unable to leave, a situation that made us sit in front of a computer to study and work and hunt asteroids.
In 2020 we had a new way of studying using virtual platforms and the use of the internet was essential for the dissemination of knowledge.
Children love technology and this new way is innovative because they are using the software, they learn by doing and in this pandemic moment, the difference was to reach several children who can use the Astrometrica software at home, under the guidance of the teacher.
Hunting Asteroids was a differential at this time, each one at home being able to use Astrometrica, participating in the IASC campaign in partnership with the MCTI under the coordination of Dr Silvana with previous training of the teams and providing support with the use of whatsApp and software a handout for guidance.
Participation in the campaign took place in June 2021 with two Teams 03 and 04 under my guidance, with students from various locations in Brazil, highlighting the 9-year-old Indian Tserê who was delighted with the use of the software to hunt Asteroids.
The internet opens doors for knowledge and its use has provided knowledge for children under 12 years old.
In celebration of Asteroid Day on June 30th, we used the google meeting with the participation of Dr Silvana answering the children's questions where each one presented their hunts and the drawings they made about the Asteroids.
Astronomy for everyone

Educazione fino a 10 anni/Up to 10 years
Uso delle tecnologie / Use of technologies:
Learning Astronomy in an attractive and playful way makes us awake to new scientists, creating bonds of friendship using the internet to bring us closer and closer even if we are physically distant.
Indicare gli elementi di innovazione del progetto / What are the innovative aspects of the project?:
Technology is in the palm of your hand with the cell phone that was previously impossible to be used in the classroom, at this moment pandemic was the differential in synchronous classes, a new way of learning
Con quanti utenti interagisce il progetto?/How many users does the project interact with? :
several activities were carried out with children from all states of Brazil that are far across the territory but close through the internet, which provided knowledge for an age group that often does not have this space for Astronomy in school subjects.
Di quali mezzi o canali si avvale il progetto?/Which media or channels does the project use?:
Facebook, whastApp and google meeting
I took courses at the Mondo Digital Foundation that helped me a lot through webinres with synchronous classes
Il progetto è già stato replicato? /Has the project already been replicated? :
Technology is in the palm of your hand with the cell phone that was previously impossible to be used in the classroom, at this moment pandemic was the differential in synchronous classes, a new way of learning
And Astronomy became more accessible to everyone, especially children who have many questions and who, with the use of technology
Quali sono le aspettative future?/What are future expectations?:
Children love technology and this new way is innovative because they are using the software, they learn by doing and in this pandemic moment, the difference was to reach several children who can use the Astrometrica software at home, under the guidance of the teacher.
Durata progetto/project duration:
Risultati ottenuti/Results:
The use of solar panels to use energy for the equipment made the children look for new ways and how the panels would be used.
Researching the Moon's movements, its orbit, its phases made children learn Astronomy in an interactive way, providing opportunities for knowledge and learning.
At this time when everyone is at home, it was thought that education would be difficult, but it was different, we reached children from all over Brazil, especially João Matheus who lives in Goiania and managed to participate even physically distant but close to the internet.
