The Europlanet Society has set up a funding scheme for funding outreach projects. The prize, awarded annually, varies from 1000 to 5000 euros depending on the project selected. The aim is to widen the reach of the scientific community. It is awarded to individuals or groups that come up with innovative ideas along with a social impact.
This year's award has been awarded to Katia Pinheiro and her team for the creative project 'Bimbim's Team: A Journey to the Planets'. Katia is an active member of our IAGA social media, responsible for video creation and production. She is also the co-chair of the Geomagnetic Observation Working Group. Along with two more members of the IAGA social media and her other colleagues, she plans to introduce little kids to the interesting world of planets and the solar system.
Congratulations to the team! 'Bimbim's Team' will do sets of stories about planetary science through the use of puppets. This will make education fun as well as knowledgeable. To get a sneak peak of the puppets, watch this video.
To get all updates about the project and the final movies, stay tuned on IAGA social media channels!
