JTB Launches First Space×Education Program with Space Travelium TeNQ

Key points

• JTB developed and began offering the inquiry and career learning program "Heart-Moving Space×Career Experience in Space Travelium TeNQ" with the cooperation of the space experience facility "Space Travelium TeNQ" operated by Tokyo Dome Corporation.
• The program targets junior and senior high school students, using space-themed experiences and dialogue to increase interest in the space industry and science and technology, and to help students think about their futures and possibilities.
• It combines permanent exhibits, free-roaming VR, and other immersive experiences with lectures and dialogue with professionals active in the space field, providing a learning opportunity that fuses "experience," "dialogue," and "inquiry."
• This is the first initiative of JTB's "Space×Education Business."
• The program lasts 120 to 150 minutes and is sold to junior and senior high schools nationwide (grades 8-12), not to individuals.
• JTB said it will expand partnerships with space-related facilities, companies, municipalities, and research institutions, and advance diverse educational content development such as "Space×Real Experience," "Space×Exchange," "Space×Travel," and "Space×DX."
