  1. Education and public outreach in the era of Big Data science ADASS2019, October 6-10, Groningen, the Netherlands Giulia Iafrate (INAF-OATs) Chenzhou Cui (NAOC)

  2. With the development of many big science astronomical projects (CTA, EUCLID, FAST, GAIA, JWST, LSST, SKA, etc.) and large scale simulations, astronomy has become a Big Data science. • Astronomical data are a very valuable resource for education and public outreach (EPO), especially in the era of Internet and Cloud Computing. • What is the value of astronomy data in EPO? • What are advantages and benefits of data driven EPO? • What are best practices of data driven EPO?

  3. Astronomy is being fundamentally transformed by the Information and Computation Technology (ICT) revolution. • The new approaches to the data permits the development of new tools, techniques and resources for astronomy EPO. • What are challenges facing data driven EPO? • How to present astronomy to general public and schools with new technologies (es. VR)? • There is the need for new software services and/or computing services for EPO uses?

  4. Topics: • State-of-the-art of astronomy education in countries/continents in the framework of the 2020-2030 IAU plan. • Meta-analysis of astronomy education research on contents/school grade levels/focus on education cross studies. • Literacy in Astronomy. • Innovations in education methodologies and instrumentation. • Research into the value and influence of astronomy education in other disciplines. • Big Data in education and Open Astronomy. • Astronomy as an interdisciplinary approach to science education in all levels. • Inclusive education in Astronomy. • Use of Astronomy Education Research experiments and results by teachers and in  informal education activities (museum, planetarium, etc). • Cultural Astronomy and heritage and education: from Stonehenge to the Space telescopes.
