1 Multy-sensorial resources to Teach and Learn Astronomy The essential is invisible to the eyes... Antoine de Saint Exupery B. García J. Maya, A. Mancilla, S. Pérez Álvarez,J. Castro, M. Videla, D. Yelós, A. Cancio, Constantino Baikouzis

2 Introduction The approach to the Astronomy, the concepts, and the discovery and te comprenhension of the natural world is a human right. The education for inclusion in Astronomy uses a range of educational and scientific insights that bring the sky to a palpable and sensitive space by generatingspecific resources.

3 Methodology Creat strategies, tools and resources to provide the people with special educational needs or people with visual, hearing and/or motor disabilities, a participative learning place. Produce resources interesting and educative, without neglecting the base of scientific outreach, ensuring interaction in a entertaining context.

4 Initiatives Successful initiatives on the Globe Research on good practices in the use of new technologies to communicate science to special audiences. Produce new models and applications. Implement Data Bases of resources.

5 The Models The goal of the project is to create models on Astronomy and Astrophysycs adeccuated to all audiencies, addapting all the subjects without limits. At the moment, the main focus of development are: Solar System (General) Gravity Bodies of the Solar System: Mars Celestial Sphere (Planetarium) Cosmic Rays

19 Gravity The weight in planets and dwarf planes + 2 dwarf planets!

20 Mars Tactile Touch, hear, see and know q new world (based in Arduino Mega 2560)

21 Cosmic Rays: adapted Geiger counter detect, see and listen invisible particles

22 Achievements Original development in: Design of electronics. Design of original software. Scripts and music for Planetarium functions. Design of models and their associated explanatory script. Printed material in braille and 3D. Filming associated with sign language. Recopilation for documentation.

23 This proposal reports benefits in the case of special schools, as well as educational establishments with people with disabilities integrated into their classrooms. The development and auxiliary material (texts, brochures, workshop materials), could be included between the resources for different Equality Training Programs. Touch the sky with your hands

36 Summary (achievement for the next years) Integrate te job ofm any people in the Union and beyond,throuh a beterconnectionbetween commissinsandoadandoao: Promote the adoption of succesful programs such as GTTP, NASE, UNAWE, based on good ractice in education. Work in the research and creation of tools, models, processes in educatin, taking into account the quality and ipact. Create a repository of resources, accesible for professional astroners, but also for teachers and the public.

37 Taking into account The use of resources and techniques tested The Evaluation of new resources and ideas and revision from the feedback with users The Advise from blind and deaf astronomers. Study of Impact for different audiences.

38 Repositories: a common task AstroEdu NASE Complementay Material AWB resources/people-with-disabilities.html SEE Project Space Exploration for the Blind and Visually Impaired STScI s Amazing Space Tactile Astronomy

39 With special emphasis in: Consider the diversity. Defend the identity. Make visible the anonimous colaborators. Teach how to protect one of Human intangible heritage, the starry night.
