Poster Presentation Extracurricular Astronomy Activities Poster Session

Description

The school received support from the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand (Public Organization) for telescopes and has used them to organize activities for students, both in terms of teaching and organizing astronomy camps to develop students to be leaders in disseminating astronomical knowledge to interested people. Students in the club organized astronomical phenomenon observation activities to distribute opportunities to people in the community and to remote communities. The mobile stargazing activity on the mountaintop was therefore initiated with the aim of providing everyone in remote areas of Thailand with equal access to astronomy. The activities organized were diverse, such as observing astronomical phenomena, learning about planetariums, coloring plaster planet models, making paper planet models, making Stellar Light Box activities, learning how to use star maps, and outdoor movie screening activities. Astronomy will allow everyone in remote areas to access and be equal. In addition to the number of people, the number of opportunities is also important because the stars in the sky belong to everyone.
