Shweta Kulkarni - AstroTribe: Astronomy Education for Science communication
16:00 - 16:15
The AstroTribe project was successfully implemented in 2023 and will be developed further in 2023. It was supported with a grant by the OAD, IAU. The AstroTribe project promotes hands-on astronomy activities, accessibility and affordability using open-source hardware and software, community building, and knowledge sharing for more engaging and impactful astronomy education. Learning by teaching encourages students to take an active role in their education, deepen their understanding of the material, and develop valuable skills in communication, organization, and problem-solving. It can also foster a sense of community and collaboration among students and provide the opportunity to contribute to the wider astronomy community's education and outreach efforts.
