DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Satoka Tanaka (Kawasaki Municipal Science Museum)\nK
 awasaki Municipal Science Museum is a museum of astronomy and natural scie
 nces with a planetarium\, which is equipped with an 18-meter dome and the 
 opto-mechanical planetarium “MEGASTAR-III FUSION” by Ohira Tech.  \n\n
 We have a planetarium workshop for elementary school students in grades 4 
 through 6.  The workshop consists of sessions held over 7-month period and
  provides hands-on experience in learning about basic astronomical knowled
 ge and the mechanism of a planetarium that simulates a real starry sky.  \
 nThe purpose of this workshop is to deepen children’s interest in astron
 omy\, space\, and science through the experiences\, and to give them oppor
 tunities for unique experiences of learning at a planetarium which cannot 
 be offered in schools.  \nThe children research and prepare their own manu
 scripts on topics of interest and collaborate with other participants to c
 reate a 45-minutes planetarium show.  In the show held on the final day of
  the workshop\, they stand at the console to operate it by themselves and 
 give a presentation on the starry sky.  \n\nIn this presentation\, I will 
 introduce the content of the workshop and would like to discuss the benefi
 ts of using the planetarium as a venue to connect with the general public\
 , particularly elementary school children.\n\nhttps://indico.narit.or.th/e
