For each type description please read below.
Materials for Activities with instruction guidance include some ideas and examples for conducting activities with the awareness of connection with space. They are edited based on the past informal education activities, mainly practiced by the Young Astronaut Club (YAC). The relation between each material and space can be checked at the education map.
Teaching guides are materials for instructors, in which there are plenty of know-how to practice space education as informal education activities in local communities. They not only provide guidance on each material theme but also concretely show the flow of whole activity.
