Title: Exploring the Cosmos: Enriching Astronomy Education Beyond the Classroom Presenter: Abhi Raj (University of Delhi, India) This was a poster presented at the 5th Shaw-IAU Workshop on Astronomy for Education, organised by the IAU Office of Astronomy for Education (OAE, http//astro4edu.org). This study explores creative astronomy education methods, such as virtual observatories, citizen science initiatives, mobile planetariums, and interactive internet platforms, to enhance learning experiences outside traditional classroom settings. The research examines the impact of these techniques on students' conceptual knowledge, excitement for astronomy, and scientific inquiry abilities. The study also examines obstacles and advantages, such as accessibility, teacher training, and assessment. Adopting these techniques can foster a deeper appreciation for the universe, critical thinking abilities, and a lifetime enthusiasm for science.About the 5th Shaw-IAU Workshop on Astronomy for Education:This year’s Shaw-IAU Workshop on Astronomy for Education focuses on two themes: one special practical astronomy education topic and one scientific topic. The special topic is astronomy education outside the classroom, looking at how astronomy can be taught in a diverse range of environments such as science centers, planetaria and youth clubs. The scientific topic is planetary atmospheres, both in the solar system and exoplanets as well as our own Earth. The workshop was organised by the IAU Office of Astronomy for Education (http://astro4edu.org).
