Abstract	A low-cost celestial globe is developed to support astronomical coordinate learning. It is used for demonstrating how stars are positioned and to analyse the motion of celestial bodies or diurnal motion. The model was implemented at a weekend astronomy camp provided for students from schools in the northeastern region of Thailand. A series of activities required the students to describe the position of celestial objects and their motion due to the rotation of the Earth. (Contains 10 figures.) (As Provided).
