In mid-October, children, families, and technology enthusiasts had the opportunity to embark on a virtual journey into space at Peter-Kaiser-Platz in Vaduz. SpaceBuzz brought science and technology to life in an extraordinary way.
With the mobile space capsule SpaceBuzz, visitors experienced a virtual flight into Earth's orbit using virtual reality. They were able to see our planet from an astronaut's perspective. The experience was designed primarily to spark young people's curiosity about science and technology.
The response was impressive: Over the three-day event, more than 700 visitors embarked on a virtual journey into space. Among them were more than 200 students from 13 school classes, who also had the opportunity to explore different career paths and discover which companies in the region develop technologies for space exploration.
A passion for technology begins when children discover and explore for themselves what technology can make possible.
