Astro-Journeys

The Astro-Journeys project aims to deliver an interdisciplinary, AI-assisted learning experience that allows students to co-create their own educational paths based on the Big Ideas of Astronomy. The project seeks to deepen students’ understanding of astronomy's relevance to everyday life while empowering educators to guide authentic research experiences.

Key Objectives:

• Develop a digital platform where students can design personalized Astro-Journeys with AI support.
• Align learning journeys with national curricula using a structured 3D matrix of astronomy concepts, tools, and educational opportunities.
• Promote inclusivity and diversity in astronomy education.
• Offer professional development for educators to effectively support students.

Activities:

• Curriculum review and development of a matrix connecting astronomy themes with learning tools.
• Design and implementation of professional training programs for teachers.
• Community outreach and local engagement initiatives.
• Continuous support for schools in applying the Astro-Journeys model.

Expected Impact:

• A more engaging and inclusive science curriculum.
• Enhanced competence and motivation among students and teachers.
• Authentic, research-based learning experiences supported by innovative AI technology.
• Stronger connections between schools, educators, students, and the wider community through astronomy.
