AstroJourneys is an Erasmus project that will run from September 2024 till August 2027. It gathers a consortium of nine partners from 5 countries and aims at the creation of an AI-assisted learning platform based on “the big ideas in Astronomy” (as defined by the Office of Astronomy for Education of the IAU), curriculum opportunities, and a selection of tools and resources. Resources will be designed in the form of inclusive research experiences based on Inquiry and Project Based Learning.
AstroJourneys targets a large community of practice, with about 20 schools, including students, educators, families. Educators will personalise and differentiate the learners' experiences, supporting their own learning rhythm and directly focusing on their competence profile development needs.
