Last year at Hikirilabs the first steps were taken in the domain of bringing ordinary citizens closer to the world of astronomy, via the building of tools for space observation. After that first experience, we have decided to revisit the theme with something broader: we shall, in the course of three days, offer different activities, such as workshops, Q&As, and nocturnal visits for observation.
For this, starting this year we have the collaboration of the Aranzadi Science Society, with which we have prepared, among other things, a workshop for families to understand the mechanics of the stars and build a stellar watch, a workshop to build a telescope, a talk about astrophotography and night-time outings to watch the Perseids.
