ICRARS Outreach and Education Programme connects with tens of thousands of people every year from all corners of the community, from school students and teachers to science researchers and the local community to the media.
The core purpose of ICRAR’s Outreach and Education program is to promote awareness and interest in science, computing and engineering, improving science literacy and participation in science-related fields.
With lockdown many parents have had to become educators, many educators have had to diversify their approach to teaching methods and continue to try and engage with learners where possible. Join Kirsten Gottschalk as she presents all the resources that Australia has been using to engage learners and the public in Astronomy.
