Elhuyar presents the Astronomine project at the Summer Courses of the University of the Basque Country
Elhuyar explained their career in video games in Basque in the course "Video games for the Basque language" at the Summer Courses of the University of the Basque Country. As well as looking back, Danel Solabarrieta Arrizabalaga from Elhuyar explained the projects they are working on, including the project Astronomine.
Astronomine - Astronomy learning through Minecraft' is a project funded by the Erasmus+ programme. It aims to stimulate interest in STEAM topics among 9-12 year olds and build knowledge on astronomical topics using the game Minecraft. In addition to astronomical knowledge, it will seek to develop transversal skills such as logic, creativity and scientific thinking by creating different Minecraft worlds.
Astronomine Erasmus+ is a knowledge partnership project led by Drumcondra Education Centre (Ireland). The other members of the consortium are Private School Themistoklis (Greece), NUCLIO (Portugal), Atermon B.V. (The Netherlands), Hearthands Solutions (Cyprus) and Elhuyar (Basque Country).
The project officially started on 1 November 2022 and will run for 24 months. In 2024, the game set for working on astronomy with young people aged 9-12 will be published free of charge.
