N1 - Funding Information:
Embodied learning is particularly important in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. Space science and technology can strongly motivate students to proactively learn science. Giving students the possibility of conducting their own mission offers them a great opportunity to become strongly motivated to proactively learn and consider relating to science and technologies. Meanwhile, the process includes various aspects from which the students can benefit, such as system design and project management, as well as obtaining basic skills and knowledge in relating science and technologies. The Tokyo University of Science (TUS) has set up the TUS Space Education Program (T-SEP), funded by the Aerospace Science and Technology Promotion Program of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT). In this paper, the outline of the T-SEP and its achievements are briefly presented.
Funding Information:
The Tokyo University of Science (TUS) has set up the TUS Space Education Program (T-SEP), funded by the Aerospace Science and Technology Promotion Program of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT). The purpose of the T-SEP is to produce highly specialized educators and engineers through various cutting-edge space research and active-learning programs, so that they may conduct their own experimental mission via parabolic flights and the CanSat development. [1]-[2] The key feature of the program is “Learn the real space”, which refers to the utilization of real materials and data that researchers employ in their actual research studies. In addition, the program treats students as a real scientists and engineers who design and conduct their own missions.
