About

Modern cosmology is one of humanity’s greatest intellectual achievements — yet it rarely finds its way into secondary school science. Cosmo-Edu-Lab is an open educational project making selected concepts in cosmology accessible and engaging, allowing students to connect familiar physics tools with the frontiers of science.

Our approach merges real observational data with an inquiry-based educational method, using familiar curriculum-based tools, enabling students to “do” cosmology rather than simply read about it. All activities are framed within a freely available digital platform, allowing students to explore the universe in a hands-on way.

Cosmo-Edu-Lab was born as an academic project, building on the collaboration between university research and school practice — see the team behind it, read about our approach in more detail, and download the app to start playing.
