New approaches to astronomy and geophysics education and outreach
Outreach & Education
Astronomers and geophysicists are often asked to contribute to education, outreach or engagement activities in a variety of different environments, but training on how to do these can vary immensely from one institution to another. This session aims to attract teachers and students (both from school and higher education) to allow them to tell us what they want and need, rather than letting the academic research dictate what we can offer.

The session will include a CPD session workshop incorporating a focus group and open discussion about what is really needed in terms of resources, training, information and best practices to achieve the requirements of each particular audience.

We will also offer workshops and hands on sessions to showcase new approaches to astronomy and geophysics education and outreach. This will include areas such as virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR), working with a variety of audiences, working towards equality and diversity, and working with unusual groups and in unusual circumstances (e.g. the Covid-19 pandemic).

Academic researchers, outreach professionals, teachers, students and STEM ambassadors are all invited to contribute to this session.
