Sharing Best Practices for Earth and Space Science Outreach and Engagement
Session ID#: 160135
Session Description:
The public’s interest in Earth and space science continues to be high with a return to in person events along with virtual events and citizen science activities. We invite authors to share their range of experiences in Earth and 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 current conditions. We are particularly interested in how these projects enable members of the public to participate in Earth and space science and are seeking synthesized best practices to share with the community.
