Astronomy

Scientific paper

Presentation aims to share our ideas and methods for educational and outreach programs, which are offered by the Society of Little Astronomers, authorized nonprofit organization, Japan. Our goal is to develop science literacy for all members of community with the help of people's intrinsic interest in Astronomy. It is notable that astronomy is an important tool for fostering growth of science literacy.
Our slogan is, "Open your eyes to The Universe, feel the Joy of Astronomy."
Our workshop programs for the community have successfully ignited the joy of Astronomy by using very light and easy to make telescopes. Participants make and observe with their own telescope.
We are always pleased to hear joyful glee here and there at the moment they focus their telescopes on a crescent moon. It is really a fact that no one forgets their first observation of the moon. Even more wonderful is it with a telescope made by oneself.
To observe the starry night with a telescope of one's own fabrication is very impressive and memorable for the participants.
In the presentation we detail how such workshops are performed. This program is very simple but joyful and educational.
