Abstract
JAXA has conducted the educational activity in KIBO since JAXA astronauts started the long-term stay onboard. JAXA designed educational experiments using the unique environment which is very different from the ground and educational interactive event as educational activities. These activities help to enlighten the general public about microgravity utilization and human space flight via crewmember performances of on-orbit demonstrations exhibiting that microgravity is useful not only for scientists and engineers, but also for teachers. Through the continued educational activities, we will inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, writers, artists, politicians and explorers.
