Astrodiálogos — Ambassador
Astrodiálogos is an outreach initiative that promotes dialogue and collaboration between modern astronomy and ancestral indigenous knowledge, highlighting and valuing the cultural perspectives of local communities across Chile.
My Role
I joined the Astrodiálogos team in October 2024 as part of the Ambassadors Program, participating in science outreach and public engagement activities across Chile. Since then, I have taken part in more than a dozen events at schools, universities, science festivals, and astronomy meetings, helping present the project to diverse audiences.
My role mainly focuses on supporting outreach activities and interactive educational experiences, including virtual reality demonstrations, board games, card games, planispheres, puzzles, and other hands-on astronomy resources designed to make science more accessible and engaging.
