- 🥉 2nd Runner-Up Award, National Software Contest 2023 (NSC2023), Educational Software Category
Although astronomy is included in the Thai science education curriculum, it is often overlooked due to its complexity and outdated, unengaging teaching materials. “Astrodemy”, a blend of “Astronomy” and “Academy,” is a platform that makes astronomy content easily accessible and interactive for the general public through digital screens. Astrodemy provide features:
- 3D Simulation:
- Solar System: Interactive 3D model of the solar system, allowing users to observe planetary orbits, rotations, and read information of those planets.
- Moon Phase: Visualize the moon's phases in an interactive format, showing how its appearance changes throughout the lunar cycle with explanations of each phase.
- Sun Life Cycle: Show the sun’s life stages from its beginning to end, all presented through a dynamic 3D simulation.
- Online Multiplayer Game and Quiz:
- Drawing Guessing: Players take turns drawing astronomy-related objects or concepts (like planets, stars, or constellations) while others guess what they are in a fun and interactive environment.
- Re-sort Picture: Rearrange scrambled images of space objects or space into their correct order to test and enhance visual recognition and knowledge of astronomy.
- Astronomy Blog: Share and explore astronomy-related posts, fostering knowledge exchange and community interaction.
- Astronomy Event Notification: Receive timely updates on celestial events like meteor showers and eclipses directly to your device.
- Astronomy Education Tools for Teachers: Tools for creating interactive lesson plans and resources such as Interactive 3D Simulation, to inspire students in astronomy.
