Two student modules are covered: satellites and travel through the solar system.

Interactive intervention in the form of questions – answers and explanations for satellites with examples of why they are used and how they are launched into orbit around the Earth. After a short break, the second topic was a short trip to our solar system. Who is the dominant star, how many planets are there in our galaxy and why the Milky Way? Names of planets with appropriate explanations.

Kader Amzeef knew how to fascinate children with his modified vocabulary and color explanations.

During the conference, some of the mysteries of the Sun (halo, solar wind, solar cycles, etc.) appeared, which are the main objectives of the individual missions (ESA Solar Orbiter mission) and PSP (NASA Parker Solar Probe mission) and ” a new “social problem related to space time.
