BARCo Kit:
We are shipping boxes with BARCo activities to over 100 schools in rural areas of Colombia.
The kit comes with multiple activities from which you could learn about:
- Colombian women scientists.
- Astronomy in Colombia: places, scientists, projects and more.
- Identify stars and constellations in the night sky.
- Different astronomy topics such as: the solar system, nebulae, galaxies, cosmoglofy, exoplantes and more.
- Other possible forms of life in the Universe and how we could communicate.
Our BARCo Kit Includes
All our kit resources are available in digital format because the activities are free for everyone.
However, our activities are under a NO DERIVATION and NO COMMERCIALIZATION license. That is to say, you can use all the products of the kit, but you cannot make editions to them, nor can you use the activities to obtain remunerations.
You must always give the respective credits to RECA.
