Abstract

Our main goal of this project is to improve education equality and mental health condition for "left-behind children"through atronomy in South-western China. The target audiences are students especially the left-behind adolescents and their parents, science teachers in local high schools in Pingtang, Guihzou Province in China. We will firstly train teachers with astronomy teaching skills, since school teachers can have direct interaction with students. Then we will train the teachers on how to provide psychology aid to 'left-behind' adolescents. Furthermore, we will introduce the career path in astronomy education and research to the students and their parents.
