Astronomy is often used as a tool for public engagement and science communication. We report an outreach activity in which undergraduate students enrolled in the Atmospheric and Planetary Science Program at ITERA, Indonesia, facilitated a Stellarium workshop for 55 high school students. Designed and supervised by lecturers and technical staff, the activity gave university students an opportunity to practice communicating science with real audiences while introducing school students to astronomy through hands-on exploration. The experience highlights how astronomy outreach can support both science learning and communication training.
