How could one live on Mars? Why does a habitat have no corners? And how do you move around on Mars? The primary school students from Bremen's Schule am Baumschulenweg can now answer these questions with ease, because they were eager to find out: our team gave the children an insight into the exciting world of space research. Wearing VR goggles, they moved into a habitat and coded for the first time. Bright-eyed children steered small robots over the surface of Mars while learning a lot through play. We would like to thank the elementary school for their cooperation and this wonderful opportunity to make research accessible to children.
