Description
Gravitational Wave Astronomy has produced groundbreaking discoveries that helped open a new observational window to the Cosmos. Despite its novelty and impact in Science, GW Astronomy remains way beyond the reach of school curricula in Greece. In this talk, we discuss the piloting of a dedicated 3hr long workshop on Gravitational Wave Astronomy with 14-year-old students in Greece, organized in the framework of a broader Astronomy oriented “Skills Lab”. We will present the structure of the workshop, preliminary findings and discuss barriers and enablers that have been identified.
