论文摘要
国际天文青年训练营(IAYC)是一个50岁的夏令营,参与者在那里独立于天文学项目工作。由于持续的19220年和2021年的IAYC分期付款被取消,这是该营地历史上的第一个。建立了一种在线格式,称为EIAYC,由三种类型的活动组成:(1)与天文学谈判和讲习班的订婚系列; (2)小型独立研究项目; (3)涉及一系列社交活动的非媒介计划。在这里,我们介绍了将面对面营地改编成在线替代方案的经验,以进一步进一步实现IAYC的任务。我们讨论组织的挑战,在线参与方面的经验以及2020年EIAYC如何为今年的EIAYC提供信息。
The International Astronomical Youth Camp (IAYC) is a 50-year old summer camp, where participants work independently on astronomy projects. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 and 2021 instalments of the IAYC were cancelled, a first in the camp's history. An online format was established dubbed the eIAYC, consisting of three types of activities: (1) an engagement series with astronomical talks and workshops; (2) small independent research projects; and (3) a non-astronomical program involving a range of social activities. Here we present the experience of adapting an in-person camp into an online alternative in order to further the IAYC's mission. We discuss organisational challenges, experiences with online engagement, and how the 2020 eIAYC informed plans for this year's eIAYC.
