Learning through Planetarium

Abstract

Science is a fundamental base and a vital component of the life in today’s world. Being surrounded with the countries that are constantly improving and developing their skills in science and technology, Bangladesh needs to enhance theirs too. The first step of the country like Bangladesh to be aware of the science and technology possibilities is to create curiosity in the minds of the blooming ones. This project will be a source for such curiosity and to attract children and adults to the world of astronomical science and technology. The main goals of this study were to evaluate changes in students’ attitudes towards astronomy, whether students learned and retained more knowledge due to planetarium-enriched instruction, and how the planetarium helped students think about astronomical concepts. This planetarium would portray the possibilities and the expression of astronomical science and technology generation and development. This would be a one stop roof to house all the astronomical science and technology fundaments and divisions so that a person can enrich his knowledge in whatever way he feels; let it be interactive exhibits or just some mute installations.
