  Astrotourism and related citizen science activities are becoming a major
trend of a sustainable, high-quality tourism segment, core elements to the
protection of Dark skies in many countries. In the Summer of 2020, in the
middle of COVID pandemics, we started an initiative to train young students -
Cyber-Cosmos - using an Unistellar eVscope, a smart, compact and user-friendly
digital telescope that offers unprecedented opportunities for deep-sky
observation and citizen science campaigns. Sponsored by the Ci\^encia Viva
Summer program, this was probably the first continuous application of this
equipment in a pedagogical and citizen-science context, and in a pandemic
context. Pampilhosa da Serra, home to a certified Dark Sky destination (Aldeias
do Xisto) in central Portugal, was the chosen location for this project, where
we expect astrotourism and citizen science to flourish and contribute to space
sciences education.
