Description
‘Aurora and Spotty’ is a story written to communicate Space Weather to children. This presentation describes an initiative visiting schools and telling the story to children from 4 to 7 years old. The school activity starts before the visit, with the children drawing a picture of the Sun. Then, after the visit, the children draw a second picture of the Sun. Comparison between these two drawings made by every child show us what he/she has learned and also his/her fascination about space weather. We will show some results from the drawings and will share our experience in this outreach initiative.
