Resources that need to be developed


(under development - this section should have a detailed breakdown of the resources that need to be developed)

 

  • Posters
  • Presentations (general, non copyrighted ppt or pdf files for use by presenters)
  • Activities (e.g. moonwatching)
  • Visual Material (photos and schematics to be used in other resources)
  • Indigenous Knowledge (source information on traditional knowledge and develop resources around this - can piggy back off other resources)
  • Constructions (requires technical work e.g. CCD camera mounted on a telescope with easy to use software, model solar system)
  • Scripts, cartoons, stories (could be compiled into a book/newspaper insert)
  • Classroom Curriculum Related Activities (specifically aimed at the classroom, e.g. lesson plans)
  • Reviewers/Quality checkers will be needed from the community and a champion needs to drive a peer review process for outreach.
  • Translation of existing resources into other languages.
