Outreach Coordinator<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I am an astronomer and outreach coordinator at the IEA. Since 2015, I have been developing collaborative inclusive astronomy projects, taking on management roles in interdisciplinary networks like the \u201cAstronom\u00eda Inclusiva\u201d group, creating learning experiences accessible to people with disabilities, training students and teachers, and giving workshops and conferences in Chile and abroad.  Since 2019, I have also been part of Inclusion and Gender working group of the Chilean Astronomy Society (SOCHIAS)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Projects<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

At the IEA we have developed an outreach program that has been growing based on close interaction with the public, particularly through social networks, events such as \u201cNoches de Telescopio<\/a>\u201d, talks and live broadcasts, and from requests received directly from artists and teachers, which has allowed us to develop 2 main lines of outreach; Astronomical Art<\/a> and Inclusive Astronomy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We actively participate in initiatives at the national level, such as the Day of Astronomy and Asteroid Day, and we collaborate with different national and international institutions to hold events, training, organizing conferences, and in projects related to our dissemination lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
