SpaceEd, Space Education for Space Age
No TL;DR found
Abstract
We live in the space age where space and astronomy discoveries are rapidly expanding and space-related technologies are becoming part of our daily life. While space education programs mostly address people interested in studying astronomy and space science, the need arises for informing and educating the rest of the society in order to build a space faring generation. SpacEd system provides introductory classes for three recipient groups; those who seek space literacy, those who want to be part of the growing space travel market, and those who are considering joining emerging branches of space science such as astrosociology or space medication. A crucial aspect for such systems to succeed is simplifying them and keeping them up to date, mainly through a centralized resources system.
