At the VEGA Observatory Haus der Natur we offer workshops for children and young people on the subject of space travel, where we learn how rockets work and also try to make our own rockets. But astronomy shouldn't be neglected either: when the weather is nice, we'll use our solar telescopes to take a close look at our star! You can register via the Haus der Natur website .
