| description | This paper reports our experiences in conducting outreach astronomy programs involving high school students and
the general public. These programs are part of an interdisciplinary research project entitled Cross-cultural Computer
supported Collaborative Learning for Student Capacity Building in Multifaceted Competencies through Astronomy Online
Labs (C3AOL). As part of this research project, two selected undergraduate Physics students were named as STEM
ambassadors and tasked in disseminating astronomical facts and concepts via outreach activities, thus consolidating
their knowledge, creativity, and identity as STEM ambassadors. The STEM ambassadors have planned and conducted
an Astronomy outreach program with high school students from the Pusat PERMATApintar Negara (currently known as
Pusat GENIUS@Pintar Negara), UKM. This was followed by a public stargazing session at the National Planetarium,
Kuala Lumpur that involved planetary and lunar eclipse observations. This project provided a valuable opportunity for the
STEM ambassadors to convey astronomical knowledge effectively and interestingly in multiple contexts, whether amongst
their peers or junior students, or even with the general public. A short-term impact of this project is the diffusion of their
knowledge and enthusiasms in Astronomy to high school students as well as the general public through outreach programs
such as dialogues session and talks at space centers and experience sharing via social media. |
