Shaw-IAU Workshops by the OAE

This session highlights the "Outer Space Classroom in Meteorite Lab" program, which transforms traditional lunar education by integrating interactive tools and historic artifacts. Moving beyond textbook-based instruction, students engage with 3D-printed lunar models, spacecraft replicas, lunar meteorite samples, and scaled spacesuit models. These hands-on resources, combined with official lunar mission photos and interactive crater displays, foster a deeper understanding of human Moon exploration history. By offering multi-sensory, STEAM-focused experiences, this approach enriches astronomy and planetary science education, promoting active learning and inspiring curiosity across diverse educational levels and settings.
