The Space Messengers online curriculum tool (
http://www.stemarts.com/biosteam/projects/spacemessengers) is used to share with students the exciting sci-art content developed through our workshops that becomes part of this final installation that you will experience in the virtual reality platform.Students use the built-in messaging tool to share with the world the science they learned and their thoughts and wishes for a sustainable interplanetary future. The 'Space Messages' can be seen projected live on the wall in Portugal and in the Virtual Reality (VR) environment. They can also be accessed via the Space Messengers website during the event in real time. Space Messengers will be traveling to festivals around the world carrying the space messages of participating youth from each venue. Next stop...Guadalajara, Mexico in 2022!
