STEM Learning and Public Engagement with NASA's Science Activation Program

Would you like to engage with STEM learners in venues such as museums, libraries, and community colleges? Do you work with these audiences already? Don’t know where to start? Scientists and subject matter experts at all career stages are needed to share their exciting work and their journeys!  Join us for a workshop to engage with NASA teams working to meet the needs of learners and science experts, explore how you can become involved, and walk away with NASA resources that you can use in your own outreach efforts. We will share resources, tackle select challenges, and connect with programs looking for expert volunteers to help deliver current, accurate, and exciting NASA astrophysics content to audiences across the country. We will explore current astrophysics themes, programs, and resources for working with different audiences.  These resources are developed by NASA’s Science Activation program. NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (SMD) has funded a cooperative network of competitively-selected teams to connect NASA’s science, data, and science experts with learners of all ages in a way that activates minds and promotes deeper understanding of our world and  beyond. Together this network of funded projects is called the Science Activation Collective (science.nasa.gov/learners).
