The Malaysian Space Agency (ANGKASA), with cooperation of the Ministry of Education of Malaysia, has organized the Astronomy Workshop for Primary and Secondary School Teachers since 2008 at the National Planetarium. The workshop was organized to provide science teachers with basic knowledge of astronomy in accordance with the school syllabus, with the hope that they can acquire sufficient knowledge in the field of astronomy to enhance their teaching activities in school. In this workshop, teachers will be introduced to night sky simulations in our space theater, a planetarium show, daytime and night time observation activities, hands on activities, and visits to the planetarium's observatory and exhibition gallery. Besides this, in the workshop they will share teaching experience with planetarium staff. Educational materials are also distributed to all the teachers as reference for their teaching. In this paper presentation, we would like to show how the National Planetarium plays an important role to help teachers in teaching astronomy in schools.

"We Love Galaxies"는 외부은하를 연구하는 국내 대학원생들을 위해 마련된 학술 교류의 장입니다. 2014년 여름에 첫 워크숍을 개최한 이래로 꾸준히 워크숍을 개최하여 왔고, 최근 2017년 2월 13-14일에는 한국천문연구원에서 을 개최하였습니다. 본 발표에서는 지난 5번의 We Love Galaxies Workshop들을 되돌아보며, 그 성과와 한계에 대한 이야기를 하고자 합니다. 또한, We Love Galaxies의 앞으로의 계획과 함께 대학원생이 중심이 되는 워크숍이 지속되어야 하는 이유에 대하여 말씀드리고자 합니다.

Technosignature, previously known as SETI(search for extraterrestrial intelligence), is the scientific evidence of past or present extraterrestrial civilizations. Since NRAO's Project Ozma was performed in 1960, most of the noticeable technosignature searches have been done by radio telescopes, hoping to find strong and narrow bandwidth signals that cannot be explained by known natural processes. Recently, the Breakthrough Listen project has opened a new opportunity for technosignature by utilizing both optical telescopes, radio telescopes, and next-generation radio telescope arrays. In this review, mainly based on NASA Technosignatures Workshop (2018), we review the current trends of technosignature surveys, as well as other possible methods for detecting technosignature. Also, we suggest what the Korean community could contribute the technosignature research, including the new SETI project with Korea VLBI Network (KVN).

"We Love Galaxies" 워크샵은 국내 대학과 연구소에서 외부은하를 전공하는 대학원생들이 중심이 되어 진행하고 있는 학술 정기모임입니다. 2014년 여름부터 매 방학마다 워크샵을 개최하여 왔고, 지난 2017년 7월 17-19일에는 충남대학교 임해수련원에서 6번째 워크샵을 개최하였습니다. 2박 3일 동안 젊은 박사님들을 초청하여 천문학도로 살아가는 데에 도움이 되는 강연을 듣기도 하고, 포스터세션을 통해 서로의 연구 주제를 공유하고 활발히 토의하는 시간을 가졌습니다. 또한, 조별 토론을 통해 출판된 논문을 심사해보는 시간을 가져보았습니다. 본 포스터에서는 이번 워크샵의 성과와 참여 학생들의 피드백을 소개하고 앞으로의 계획에 대해 말씀드리고자 합니다.

This study aimed to develop a 'star-car' operational program combining with the STEAM program and the PEST method for motivating elementary school students who belonged to less favored areas in terms of scientific culture to get an interest in astronomy and appropriately forming scientific concepts of Astronomy and Space and, subsequently, to examine the effectiveness of the program. For the purposes to be feasible, 5 experts participated in the study. They set a development direction of the program through a workshop, developed a draft with respect to a mobile astronomical observatory program of the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute, and then complete the development of the program through one trial application. The program which was developed in the study applied the STEAM program and targeted the elementary school students who lived in isolated regions of the scientific culture. The results of the research were as follows. First, The mobile astronomical observatory program developed in this study was improved as a program which stimulated the curiosity of elementary school students in all grades towards the Astronomy and Space. Second, The program developed in the study consisted of 11 periods in total; one period was for the presentation of the situation, five periods for emotional experience, the other five periods for creative design. Third, The results of analyzing the students' satisfaction were turned out to be effective in general. Judging from the aforementioned results, the mobile astronomical observatory program is expected to enhance learners' core competencies.

Measurements of the optical activity become very important issues in fields related to polymers, optical communications, astronomy, physics and many more. Hence it need to introduce this subject in our regular curriculum. In this experiment, an inexpensive, reliable, motorized polarimeter system which is suitable for undergraduate courses is constructed with PASCO's well-known Science Workshop 750 and a rotational motion sensor and light sensor, and the system is presented along with its experimental formulas. After responsivity of this system was checked by a half wave plate, and some repetitive experiments with 30% sucrose solution at 543.8 nm were performed. Comparing the experimental result with two calculated values from CRC data[1] showed that the specific rotation of the sucrose sample could be strongly suggested to be around +76 deg.cc/g.dm and it was an amply acceptable result for most undergraduate level courses.
