"Visual Impairment Sensory Teaching of Astromythology ""Constellations in your Hands"" (visual tactile and auditory Interaction)"

"<< Objectives >>The VISTA project, ""Constellations in Your Hands,"" aims to develop inclusive educational resources that make astronomy accessible to visually impaired students through tactile and auditory materials. By integrating storytelling and music, we enhance engagement and cultural appreciation while promoting STEM education. Teacher training will ensure inclusive teaching practices, fostering equal opportunities. Ultimately, we empower students with visual impairments and boosting their confidence.<< Implementation >>Research on existing educational materials and methods for teaching visually impaired students, with a literature review on astromythology. Developing VISTA’s core learning materials, making astro-mythology accessible. The process includes designing and implementing VISTA materials, followed by a teacher workshop to ensure effective delivery. This critical phase provides hands-on training, equipping educators with inclusive strategies o engage visually impaired learners.<< Results >>The VISTA project aims to develop inclusive educational resources like tactile star maps, 3D constellation models, and audio storytelling to make astronomy accessible to visually impaired students. It enhances STEM education through multisensory learning, trains educators in inclusive teaching, and fosters cultural awareness via astro-mythology. By empowering students with disabilities and promoting international collaboration, the project ensures equity, accessibility, and lasting impact."
