Education and Public Outreach Activities with Hinode Satellite Data

Hinode data are very important for not only investigating solar phenomena but also giving new knowledge about the sun to the public and the educational communities, such as public observatories, planetarium, science museum, and of course, schools. In order to help the educators to efficiently and actively use Hinode data, we organized working group for public use of Hinode data. It is a peculiar point that members of the working group are of both researchers and educators. That draw an interchange between researchers and educators, and promoting the various type of activities in collaboration. As our main activity, we have already produced two kinds of DVDs for introducing the observational results of Hinode. The DVDs have already been distributed to the educational communities in Japan. We made some kinds of surveys for educators to confirm the efficiency of the DVDs for education and public outreach. In addition, we use Hinode data to develop educational materials and carried out exhibitions at some museums. In such way, our activities might be quite unique in that researchers/educators collaborate each other and a new style of education and public outreach. In this paper, we introduce these activities in details and the public impact.
