The Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SAO RAS) and the Cassiopea Jewelry House are implementing a joint educational project. As part of the partnership, a digital avatar is being created that will interpret interesting facts from astronomy to form educational content. Astronomy is a philosophical science. It teaches us to understand the laws of the world more deeply.

About the project

The partnership between Cassiopea and the CAO RAS is being implemented in stages and includes both educational and cultural components.

The first stage is the creation of a digital avatar that uses knowledge about the universe to prepare educational content.

The next stages include the launch of a digital platform for the exchange of scientific information, joint events (lectures, workshops, exhibitions), regular coverage of astronomical research in public channels, as well as the launch of a joint collection in which jewelry images will refer to the topic of space exploration.

The project is aimed at popularizing science and developing a dialogue between the scientific community and a wide audience through modern visual and educational formats.
