Today marks the end of the first week of UNAWE’s innovative Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign. So far, more than €5000 have been pledged to the campaign! This leaves us with less than €10,000 to raise in order to make the €15,000 target. We’d like to ask anyone with a passion for astronomy to spread the word about our campaign. And of course to pledge, if you haven’t done so already. No matter how small, each contribution makes a difference! The campaign supports the efforts of Universe Awareness to share the educational toolkit, Universe in a Box, with underprivileged communities around the world. Universe in a Box is an educational kit to assist educators in bringing astronomy and space sciences to 4–10 year old children around the world. It was developed to meet a demand for practical, interactive, and fun resources to bring astronomy to the classroom. Universe in a Box provides teachers and educators with over 40 practical activities as well as the materials and models required to do them. The funds raised by the campaign will be used to distribute an educational toolkit, Universe in a Box, to underprivileged communities and train primary school teachers to use it. The Kickstarter campaign runs until 10 June.
