Five hundred meter Aperture Spherical
Telescope (FAST)
The Five hundred meter Aperture
Spherical Telescope (FAST) is a radio
telescope under construction
located in a natural basin (大窝凼洼
地),[1] in Pingtang County, Guizhou
Province, southwest China.[2] As of
June 2011 construction should be
complete by September 2016.[3] It
will be the world's largest and most
sensitive radio telescope and three
times more sensitive than the
Arecibo Observatory.[4] It will have
a cost of 700 million yuan.[5]

14. School, Teacher, Learner and Curriculum
for the 21st Century World
School: More informal education
Curriculum: Project-based, integration, interdisciplinary curriculum
Teacher: “Dispenser of Information”to “Inspiring students,
Orchestrator of Learning and Helping Students to turn Informationinto
Knowledge and Knowledge into Wisdom”
Learner: “Culture of Inquiry”, “Alert and Awareness” in learning

15. Astronomy, Galaxy and Space
Science fit well with the 21st
Century Education
