Webinar Description
Are you looking for ways to help students grasp the structure and dynamics of the Solar System by walking, coordinating as a group, and taking on the role of the planets themselves? Join our webinar and discover how the Human Orrery—a large-scale, embodied model of the Solar System—can transform the way your students learn astronomy, mathematics, and scientific inquiry.
What you will learn:
- What is the Human Orrery? How it works, what it shows, and why it offers a unique bridge between physical movement and scientific concepts.
- Educational value: Explore how the Human Orrery fosters inquiry-based learning, strengthens spatial and temporal reasoning, supports interdisciplinary STEAM connections, and helps students build robust models of astronomical phenomena through embodied action.
- How to build your own Human Orrery? Get step-by-step guidance on creating an Orrery in your school.
By attending, educators will gain practical tools, inspiration, and access to a community of teachers and researchers who use the Human Orrery across Europe and beyond.
Who should attend:
- Primary and secondary school teachers of all subjects.
- School leaders and STEAM coordinators.
- Informal science educators (science centres, museums, planetariums).
- Teacher trainers, researchers, and education policymakers.
- Anyone interested in embodied learning and innovative approaches to astronomy and STEAM education.
