Description
Stargazing Live! aims to capture the imagination of students with a combination of live and interactive planetarium lessons, real astronomical data, and lessons built around interactive knowledge representations . The lessons were created using a co-creation model and tackle concepts in the pre-university (astro)physics curriculum which students find difficult to grasp with traditional interventions. An evaluation study in nine Dutch classrooms showed that learners are inspired and engaged by the planetarium but are not always able to link the content to the classroom.
