en-Activites-WSW - The Payerne Space Day - HB4FR

HB4FR celebrates the "World Space Week" by organizing, with primary schools in the region and the Lake Geneva area, a "Payerne Space Day", inside the "Clin d'Ailes" museum.

Children work on topics about space. In addition, they present us every year beautiful drawings on the theme of esapce.

The choice of topics is done with their teachers, but then they let go their imagination, which always surprises. Students present their work on the Saturday afternoon of the World Week in the Clin d'Ailes Museum. The result is from year to year more than amazing: if the subjects are always more or less the same, their presentation on the other hand is always very different.

As an other example, a small animated film, made by the students of the Belfaux primary school for the WSW 2017.

If shortwave propagation conditions allow, children have the opportunity to discover amateur radio during their activity at the Clin d'Ailes Museum. With the kind permission of OFCOM, they have the opportunity to take the microphone, ask questions and interact with an amateur radio operator living in a french speaking part of the world. These QSO (connections) are often made with our friend Jacky, 3B8CF, amateur radio operator living in Mauritius.

See yourself what the kids are able to do. Every year, parents and museum visitors are impressed by the quality of the presented topics and animations.
