During their visit to the soundLAB at the Vienna Museum of Science and Technology, second-grade students from VS Oskar Spiel School brought along stories, thoughts, ideas, and questions about potential space travel.

Inspired by stories from Pixi books, they expanded on their notions of "outer space," contemplating whether they would desire such a journey, what they might bring along, and if fear would factor in. They depicted everyday scenarios through drawings, imagining how these would unfold in space.

They arrived at the museum with these initial ideas and exchanged their thoughts in small groups in the soundLAB "ON AIR". Here they deepened their ideas and asked new questions. These recordings give an insight into their current interests and wishes for their (fictitious) future.
