Shaw-IAU Workshops by the OAE

The astronomy exhibitions in Thailand were designed with the contents related to the basic education core curriculum in mind. The exhibitions feature interaction both via the use of technology and more traditional means to provide a better experience for the audience. The audience are encouraged to experience and promote inquiry to further explore the exhibits. The exhibition is produced in-house, therefore, visitors can easily deliver ideas of the exhibited equipment to apply with their activities in classroom. Our exhibition values lifelong learning and teaching, curiosity and inquiry, iteration and evidence, integrity and authenticity for sustainability. Examples of exhibition zones such as moon phases, scattering of light, and proof of the Earth's rotation by using the pendulum, etc.
