Sharing Best Practices for Space Science Outreach and Engagement

Session ID#: 123601

Session Description:
The public’s interest in space science has remained high throughout the past year with reported increases in virtual participation. We invite authors to share their range of experiences in space science outreach and engagement provided by large observatories, science centers, schools, clubs, non-profits, NASA missions and NASA centers, and other institutions. Papers can include opportunities for a range of audiences/participants and may include regular programming or that adapted for COVID precautions. We are particularly interested in how these projects enable members of the public to participate in space science and are seeking synthesized best practices to share with the community.
