Astronomy offers valuable tools and perspectives that can support development in many communities. Beyond exploring the universe, it encourages problem-solving, scientific thinking, and curiosity—skills that are important for education and social progress.

Through this course, I am learning how astronomy can be applied to address real-world challenges, such as improving STEM engagement, supporting innovation, and inspiring learners of all backgrounds. I believe that when astronomy is linked with community needs, it can create meaningful opportunities for learning, empowerment, and long-term development.

I look forward to continuing this course and learning from the experiences shared by others.
