Big Impact Astronomy - Inclusive Astronomy Outreach With Cesare Pagano & Andra Stoica

Inclusive astronomy outreach is possible with simple tools: Tactile sheets, 3D models, and balloons with star stickers are powerful resources for teaching astronomy to the blind, making the Universe accessible to all.

- Cesare Pagano and Andra Stoica discuss their roles in the Inclusive Outreach sub-working group of the International Astronomical Union, focusing on making astronomy accessible to people with disabilities.

- Andra Stoica explains how tools such as tactile sheets and 3D models allow visually impaired individuals to experience and understand astronomical concepts.

Mike Simmons is the founder of Astronomy for Equity ( https://bmsis.org/astro4equity/ ). Others on the team, including people around the world in astronomy and space exploration, authors and philosophers, designers and artists and more will be added as the website is developed.
