Children as young as 4 \u2013 6 years old are the target group of this project. With workshops, teaching material, science days, excursion to a planetarium and other methods their enthusiasm for science and space is awakened. Member of the forum have turned this enthusiasm into their profession \u2013 reason enough, for the second mayor of Innsbruck to pay a visit and let himself be caught by the children&#8217;s motivation.<\/p>\n<p>The project gets financial support from the ministry of sciences as part of  the \u201cSparkling Science Intitiative\u201d. It has also won a \u20ac 2.000 price, which will be invested into new teaching materials.  The final event of this project is going to take place on the 30th of June \u2013 on \u201cRocket Day\u201d children will get a chance to build and launch their own (water) rockets, and also get a guided tour around the Institute of Astro- and Particle Physics at the University. The teachers will present their new teaching materials and methods.<\/p>\n<p>Some feedback from the children (Kindergarden Haspingerstrasse, Innsbruck):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;<em>That was great to see that toilet paper flies around in an airplane, if you do not hold on to it!<\/em>&#8220;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;<em>It&#8217;s strange that people are flying around there (in a zero G environment) \u2013 but I&#8217;d like to be able putting on a space suit!<\/em>.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;<em>The planets did sound like my heart\u201d (Note: this comes from the project \u201cAstronomy with all senses<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oewf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/SOMOST-3.jpg\" class=\"fancybox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1467\" title=\"team meeting SOMOST\" src=\"https:\/\/oewf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/SOMOST-3-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"team meeting SOMOST\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oewf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/SOMOST-3-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/oewf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/SOMOST-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oewf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/SOMOST-3.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/oewf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Starparty_14Jan2011_IMG_5834.jpg\" class=\"fancybox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1468\" title=\"Star watch with telescopes\" src=\"https:\/\/oewf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Starparty_14Jan2011_IMG_5834-600x399.jpg\" alt=\"Star watch with telescopes\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oewf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Starparty_14Jan2011_IMG_5834-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/oewf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Starparty_14Jan2011_IMG_5834-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The title \u201cSoMoSt\u201d comes from \u201cSonne Mond und Sterne\u201d &#8211; German for \u201cSun, Moon and Stars\u201d.
