DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Vernesa  Smolčić ()\nHands-on activities can signi
 ficantly improve engagement and understanding in astronomy education\, yet
  many educational resources remain expensive\, difficult to obtain\, or la
 ck the level of scientific accuracy required for effective astronomy educa
 tion.\n\nI will introduce iw3D Studio\, a project focused on developing op
 en and customizable 3D-printable models for astronomy and STEM education. 
 The project includes tactile learning materials\, planetary models\, lunar
  phase and telescope kits\, and other interactive resources designed for c
 lassrooms\, outreach events\, and informal learning environments.\n\nThe t
 alk will present the design philosophy behind the project\, examples of ed
 ucational applications\, and experiences gained through science communicat
 ion and astronomy outreach activities in Croatia. The presentation will al
 so discuss how 3D printing can support accessible\, low-cost\, and locally
  available resources for astronomy communication worldwide.\n\nhttps://ind
