Abstract

The Canale web Aerospaziale (Aerospace Web Channel) is a structured outreach project jointly lead by Italian Space Agency and Italian Aerospace Research Centre having the aim to promote scientific education and space culture within high schools through non-conventional media. Along these lines, and in order to increase the audience share, an educational and promotional space-themed videogame has been developed and freely diffused since March 2008. 
After the software has been diffused, media, students and school teachers had different opinions and reactions: a brief analysis will allow characterizing some aspects on this innovative approach. 
The goal of this presentation is that of providing and discussing the feedback on Star4physics diffusion in the Italian context.
