Abstract

We present an astronomy educational project intended for 16-year-old high school students that has been successfully deployed for 7 years under the Youth and Science Program of the Catalunya La Pedrera Foundation. The Youth and Science Program aims to encourage talented students to pursue careers in science and technology and a future as researchers. It consists of a two-week crash course covering all major topics in astronomy: stellar evolution, black holes, galaxy formation and evolution, cosmology, simulations, and gravitational waves, among many others. The classes focus on the relevant concepts in each of the aforementioned fields but without a detailed description of the math formalism or the most advanced concepts in modern physics, this to develop the students’ intuition and interest in the wonders of the Universe without overwhelming them. Theoretical sessions are complemented with a set of practical sessions that help students to consolidate the concepts. All theory and practical sessions in this project are being compiled in an outreach book addressed not only to the students of this project but also to the entire amateur astronomy community.

我们提出了一个针对16岁高中生的天文学教育项目，该项目已经在加泰罗尼亚La Pedrera基金会的青年和科学计划下成功部署了7年。青年科学计划旨在鼓励有才华的学生从事科学技术事业，并在未来成为研究人员。它包括一个为期两周的速成课程，涵盖了天文学中的所有主要主题:恒星演化、黑洞、星系形成和演化、宇宙学、模拟和引力波等。课程侧重于上述每个领域的相关概念，但没有详细描述数学形式主义或现代物理学中最先进的概念，这是为了培养学生对宇宙奇观的直觉和兴趣，而不会压倒他们。理论课程与一套帮助学生巩固概念的实践课程相辅相成。这个项目的所有理论和实践课程都汇编在一本外联书中，不仅针对这个项目的学生，而且针对整个业余天文社区。
