This talk explores the reframing of future abilities and promotional strategies that would be crucial to Astronomy educators and advocates, in response to the changes in popular science promotion caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike the traditional observational events, through Transmedia Innovation, integrating science and arts could be an effective method to visualize the knowledge and values of Astronomy education, from reconstructing inspiring mindsets to building a shared-valued community without borders. It could also contribute effectively to interactive teaching and design thinking for solving real-life problems related to Astronomy.
