Informal Astronomy Education
Education is a lifelong process and is not confined within school grounds or school hours.. Many aspects of education take place outside the context of schools completely. Informal astronomy education such as planetariums, science museums, self-study, social media, etc. also plays a crucial role in shaping the understanding of astronomy in a K-12 audience.

Accessibility, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Astronomy Education
As we expand more to better engage with our audiences, we must also pay attention to those who might get left behind. Addressing a unique group of individuals sometimes requires unique solutions to solve unique challenges. Share some of the ways in which we can overcome physical, mental, societal, religious, cultural, or economic challenges in making sure no one is left behind.

Extracurricular Astronomy Activities
Education is ongoing and is not necessarily confined within the curriculum. However, this is often overlooked in favor of a highly academic-oriented mindset and high expectations from parents, particularly in this region. Discuss ways in which we can emphasize other aspects of education and how students can spend time finding their own passion and interest outside of curriculum, such as club activities, project-based learning, student research, etc.

In order to enable an iCal export link, your account needs to have an API key created. This key enables other applications to access data from within Indico even when you are neither using nor logged into the Indico system yourself with the link provided. Once created, you can manage your key at any time by going to 'My Profile' and looking under the tab entitled 'HTTP API'. Further information about HTTP API keys can be found in the Indico documentation.
Additionally to having an API key associated with your account, exporting private event information requires the usage of a persistent signature. This enables API URLs which do not expire after a few minutes so while the setting is active, anyone in possession of the link provided can access the information. Due to this, it is extremely important that you keep these links private and for your use only. If you think someone else may have acquired access to a link using this key in the future, you must immediately create a new key pair on the 'My Profile' page under the 'HTTP API' and update the iCalendar links afterwards.
