Rosy Workshop

Designed in collaboration with the Planetarium de Montréal, Rosy is an online learning path and kit that will immerse your students in the world of astronomy.

Using the online learning path and your Rosy physical material kit, follow her adventures and help the tardigrade on her journeys from Earth to space.

Help Rosy in her quest to warn Earth that an extraterrestrial signal has been detected in space by completing challenges with the micro:bit nano-computer in your kit, while learning about space observation, waves, solar panels, light and space communication.
