Description
Thailand is one of the few countries with astronomy as part of the required curriculum in secondary schools. As a result, there are many astronomy teachers in Thailand. With increasing interest in astronomy, there are now more than ever many astronomical activities, both formal and informal in schools. In order to support the growing interest, the Conference on Astronomical Activities in School (CAAS) was established. In this annual conference, teachers can gather to share the activities they have accomplished with their peers. This is aimed to be a venue in which best practices in astronomy education are shared, reinvigorate their passion, provide incentives and inspiration for now and upcoming teachers, and teachers can learn new activities via workshops. Moreover, by awarding outstanding achievements made by the teachers in this conference, this allows for ways in which teachers are recognized and awarded for their arduous work.
