Educational Interfaces of Astronomy: Sky Observation Within the "Tatu-do Bem" Outreach Project

This is a poster presented at the 7th Shaw-IAU Workshop on Astronomy for Education, organised by the IAU Office of Astronomy for Education (OAE, https://astro4edu.org/shaw-iau/7th-shaw-iau-workshop/). Title: Educational Interfaces of Astronomy: Sky Observation Within the “Tatu-do Bem” Outreach Project Presenter:Newton Figueiredo (Universidade Federal de Itajubá) The “tatu-do bem” (the good armadillo) outreach project is a space for the exchange of knowledge between the university and society, integrating professionals to promote comprehensive health, valuing real-life contacts, expanding the sense of belonging, implementing behaviors that strengthen group coexistence and contribute to quality of life. In this context, we held a sky observation session in which students observed constellations, planets, the Moon and some satellites. Since the armadillo digs its own paths with strength and determination, “tatu-do bem” means recognizing someone who is healthy and well, building their journey with courage and good choices. This sky observation activity was an opportunity for participants to connect themselves to the universe and to their own health.
