Astronomy is a most appealing subject to young students and can be an excellent tool to convey scientific knowledge. Once students have understood the importance of science they might be more easily pursued to continue their education into technology and science. Outreach programs that include Astronomy have proven to make people aware of the importance of research, promote the interaction between industry and researchers, including those involved in space science, and has proven very useful as an aid for education. In this paper we comment on the importance of astronomical formal and non formal education, and on some outreach experiences that have been carried out in Mexico. We also mention some of the activities undertaken by the International Astronomical Union in order to promote public understanding of science.
