Abstract

This article is derived from the development of educational activities in astronomy, with a view to encouraging the training of future researchers. The goal is to present how the participation of students from EEEM Dr.Silva Mello took place in the Mostra de Astronomia do ES (MAES), and how that promoted their involvement and participation in the three types of education, formal, informal and non-formal, highlighting the articulation between them. In order to train citizens with interests for development of scientific research on astronomical themes, developing a taste for the search for knowledge and to motivate this action, we form groups to present works at MAES, used as a non-formal education space . The event included the presentation of works, lectures and prizes. As a result, one of the works presented by the students was awarded. Informal education has gained special relevance, when students discussed science, bringing it to their daily lives
