The World Space Week 2021 was also this Friday, 08, celebrated at the YALLIN Private School Complex – CEPY, a bilingual educational institution (English/Portuguese) with girls and boys from 5 to 12 years old.
Located in Nelito Soares neighborhood, in the urban district of Rangel, CEPY has thus established its commitment to science and the spatial culture of its students within the scope of its vision for the excellent training of future young Angolan leaders.
The event took place from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm, starting with a brief class on the planets of the solar system, star constellations and memorizing a mini dictionary of celestial phenomena, followed by the Educational Game “Voyage to Space” that helps to transmit the early knowledge and understanding of the universe-system, recognition and classification of planets, constellations, celestial phenomena and understanding of cosmic constants.
