Description

The Astronomy Day in School project has been continued by a Working Group, Astronomy Education Research & Methods, of the IAU Commission C1, Astronomy Education and Development, since the March Equinox of 2021 as a forum for online astronomy education practices, sharing of teaching materials and school-to-school communication on a quarterly basis on the occasion of equinox and solstice. The communication program was initiated by a teacher association in Iran. There, club activities, community activities, STEAM materials, extra-curricular activities, student research activities and everyday classroom innovations have been presented by many students from many countries, and Thai schools have presented a wide range of activities. In this poster, I would like to present a summary of the results so far and invite participation from the Asian region in future programs.
