Description

Teaching Astronomy is a great challenge, specially in Brazil. On the other hand, astronomical observations can contribute to the dissemination and teaching of Astronomy and Physics, supporting teachers and students. The topic is important and should be instigated both in non-academic scope as well as in the scope of teacher and student training. An itinerant project about Astronomy has been developed since 2011. More than 9,000 people with different levels of scientific knowledge and interest have attended the activities. This work aims to analyze the effectiveness of different non-formal approaches that can be used with a lay audience.
