DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Vhan Therese Sabellano (PAGASA)\nThe Visayas Planeta
 rium\, operated by the Visayas PAGASA Regional Services Division (VPRSD) i
 n Cebu\, Philippines\, is emerging as a regional platform for astronomy ed
 ucation\, public engagement\, and informal STEM learning. While the planet
 arium primarily introduces visitors to astronomy and space science through
  immersive digital experiences\, its potential extends beyond the dome by 
 connecting astronomy with Earth science\, atmospheric science\, weather\, 
 and climate.\n\nSince opening to the public in 2025\, the Visayas Planetar
 ium has attracted an increasing number of visitors\, with students and edu
 cational institutions comprising the majority of its audience. The growing
  interest demonstrates the potential of the planetarium to serve not only 
 as a venue for astronomy education but also as a gateway to broader scient
 ific learning.\n\nhttps://indico.narit.or.th/event/238/contributions/932/
