This presentation will share my multifaceted experience in integrating cultural and creative design with astronomy through interactive astronomy education practices in primary schools. I will provide a detailed account of the process of creating astronomical illustrations for a primary school astronomy textbook, focusing on how complex astronomical concepts were transformed into visually captivating and educationally meaningful images that are more effectively accessible to primary and secondary school students. Additionally, I will discuss my work in cultural and creative design, including the journey from design concepts to finished products. These designs not only enhance the appeal of astronomy education but also help students and astronomy enthusiasts gain a deeper understanding of astronomical knowledge.

A significant portion of the presentation will center on my interactive astronomy teaching practices at local primary schools. These sessions, which combine hands-on activities and storytelling, aim to spark curiosity and enthusiasm for astronomy among students. I will elaborate on the strategies used to translate abstract astronomical concepts into content that is both comprehensible and engaging for young learners, and share the positive feedback received from students and teachers alike.

In conclusion, this presentation emphasizes the importance of merging artistic creativity with scientific education, demonstrating how this approach can significantly enhance the learning experience for primary school students. By sharing my experiences, I hope to inspire educators and designers to explore innovative teaching methods, ultimately contributing to a more dynamic and effective educational environment.
