People interested in conducting joint projects popularizing science are invited to contact Dr Karolina Rożko.
ESERO-Poland
Starting in 2024, we will engage in activities to popularize knowledge about space in collaboration with ESERO-Polska. These activities include co-hosting the webinar 'About Space Over Coffee: Pulsars – Extraordinary Laboratories of Astrophysics,' which took place on April 17, 2024, conducting the workshop 'Career in the Space Sector' for eighth-grade students from Primary School No. 24 in Zielona Góra (Drzonków), and organizing workshops on exoplanets for students from the 2nd and 3rd grades of the K.K. Baczyński High School in Nowa Sól, which were held at the University of Zielona Góra.
We also participated in events outside the University of Zielona Góra, such as the '10 European Rover Challenge' competition held at AGH in Kraków and the II Family Fantastic Picnic (a free event accompanying the Fantastic Bachanalia).
Dr. Karolina Rożko has become an ambassador for space education at ESERO-Polska, and as part of the 'Invite an Ambassador' program, she visited several institutions, including Primary School No. 22 in Wrocław, Montessori Academy Kindergarten, Bajkowe Kindergarten in Świebodzin, Municipal Kindergarten No. 43 in Zielona Góra (Drzonków), and Municipal Kindergarten No. 11 'Rainbow Corner' in Zielona Góra.
YouTube channel
From February 21, 2023, observations with the ROTUZ telescope will be broadcast as part of the "Before Dawn" program. The broadcasts are hosted by dr Michał Żejmo. And astronomical commentary is most often added by dr hab. Wojciech Lewandowski, prof. UZ. The following broadcasts have been made so far:
We encourage you to watch the archived recordings. And to like our Facebook profile: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100054623521045.

Kids astronomical Clubs
The astronomy clubs for primary school children have been running since October 2017. Most of the time, the meetings took place at the Venus Planetarium. Below we present the most interesting activities. The meetings were conducted by Dr. Karolina Rożko.
Young Explorer’s Clubs
From October 2023, activities for children are carried out as Young Explorers' Clubs (i.e. a program coordinated by the Copernicus Science Center in Warsaw). Currently, there are two registered clubs: "Team KOSMOS" (children from grades I-III) and "Galaxy Explorers" (children from grades III-V). During clubs meetings, childrens have the opportunity to perform simple experiments and learn by runing simple projects. Below we present some photos from KMO meetings. The club's supervisor is Dr. Karolina Rożko.
Popular science lectures
Interesting presentations given by professional astronomers
The Institute of Astronomy offers popular lectures on Astronomy for various age groups: kindergartens, primary schools, secondary schools and other organized groups. During popular lectures, it is possible to observe the Sun. We also present a working model of a radio-controlled "space rover".
