NASE continues to make significant strides in Indonesia, with recent courses held by ITS and UNJ. In 2022, ITS hosted a hybrid NASE course from December 12-13, featuring 3 IAU instructors, 4 local instructors, and 20 participants. Building on the success of this event, the 2024 NASE course was held by UNJ from September 9-12, featuring 6 IAU instructors, 7 local instructors, and 40 participants from Jakarta. The program was expanded to include 4 lectures, 11 workshops, and 2 working groups. The NASE courses in Indonesia contribute significantly to the development of astronomy education in Indonesia, fostering both academic growth and public interest in the field.
