Educator Michael Wilkinson is bringing astrobotany into classrooms: GotG12

Join Emma the Space Gardener as she explores gardening on Earth… and beyond! Emma’s guest on this week’s show is Michael Wilkinson, a teacher who’s bringing astrobotany into classrooms with Magnitude.io. Michael talks about the ExoLab series of experiments, which ‘leguminaut’ is blasting off in 2021, and how a Bitmoji teacher will be able to tag along for the ride!

I recently blogged how to create your space gardener Bitmoji. Visit the Magnitude.io website to find out more about how to apply to send yours into space! You can also follow @astro_moji and @magnitudeio on Twitter, or connect with Magnitude on Facebook.
