astroEDU: an astronomy activity repository. Developments over 2020 - Michael Fitzgerald

astroEDU has been reviewing and publishing activities since 2013. In 2020, the repository has been in the process of being transferred over to being administered by the OAE. As this has been happening, it has made sense to take stock of what activities are available and for whom, what we know is taught in schools worldwide, what constitutes astronomical literacy and whether all of these are in alignment. After an overview of astroEDU itself, what activities are available and what activities we will be asking for in the coming months will be presented.
