PROPOSES A PROJECT ENTITLED EARTH FROM SPACE: EXPLORING SATELLITE DATA TO BETTER UNDERSTAND GLOBAL SYSTEMS. FOR THIS PROJECT, WILL WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH NASA STAFF, , AND RURAL PARTNERS TO CREATE PROGRAMMING RELATED TO THE EARTH SCIENCE DIVISION OF NASAS SCIENCE MISSION DIRECTORATE WITH PARTICULAR EMPHASIS ON EARTH OBSERVING SYSTEMS (EOS). THE PROJECT WILL FOCUS ON PERSONALLY RELEVANT, NASA-IDENTIFIED ISSUES SUCH AS CLIMATE CHANGE, WEATHER AND CLIMATE, AND MONITORING ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS, TO IMPROVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE EARTH AS AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM. WILL WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH PARTNERS TO ENGAGE THE PUBLIC IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY BY DEVELOPING AND SHOWCASING COMPELLING IMAGES AND PROGRAMS THAT MAKE NASA DATASETS AND RESEARCH PROCESSES ACCESSIBLE. AT MAIN MUSEUM LOCATION, THIS PROGRAMMING WILL BE DISPLAYED ON A SCIENCE ON A SPHERE SYSTEM, WHILE MAGIC PLANET SPHERICAL DISPLAY SYSTEMS WILL BE USED TO PROVIDE PROGRAMS AT RURAL LIBRARIES, SCHOOLS, AND OTHER OUTREACH VENUES. THE PROJECT WILL FRAME NASA DATA TO TELL INTERESTING STORIES IN A VISUALLY ENGAGING SETTING, WITH ACCOMPANYING HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES THAT DEMONSTRATE HOW NASA SATELLITE DATA IS COLLECTED. IT WILL ALSO INTRODUCE K-12 CLASSROOMS AND THE PUBLIC TO NASA RESOURCES AND NASA CITIZEN SCIENCE PROJECTS AND WILL FEATURE LOCAL NASA BASED RESEARCH BY ESTABLISHING INTERNSHIPS WITH STUDENTS FROM . IN ADDITION TO WORKING WITH NASA STAFF AND , EARTH FROM SPACE WILL ALSO LEVERAGE THREE PAST NASA FUNDED INFORMAL EDUCATION PROJECTS. THE PROJECTS OBJECTIVES ARE TO: (I) FOSTER AWARENESS OF STEM CONTENT BY INSPIRING AND ENGAGING THE PUBLIC IN NASA'S EOS MISSION CONTENT AND (2) FACILITATE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN INFORMAL AND FORMAL EDUCATION. EARTH FROM SPACE WILL DIRECTLY ADDRESS ISSUES RELEVANT TO NASA'S SCIENCE MISSION DIRECTORATE, EARTH SCIENCE RESEARCH, AND THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION'S STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK. IN ADDITION, THE PROJECT WILL HAVE A SECONDARY FOCUS ON CONTENT RELEVANT TO NASA'S SPACE OPERATIONS MISSION DIRECTORATE. THE PROJECT WILL INTRODUCE AND ENGAGE THE PUBLIC WITH IMPORTANT NASA IDENTIFIED ISSUES SUCH AS CLIMATE CHANGE, WEATHER AND CLIMATE, AND MONITORING ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS. IT WILL ALSO PRESENT THE ROLE OF NASA IN CREATING AND MAINTAINING KEY TECHNOLOGIES THAT ALLOW RESEARCHERS IN AND AROUND THE WORLD TO TRACK ENVIRONMENTAL VARIATION. IN PARTICULAR, EARTH OBSERVING SYSTEMS (EOS) PROVIDE INVALUABLE DATA FOR UNDERSTANDING KEY ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESSES AND COMPLEX EARTH SYSTEMS. EDUCATIONAL DELIVERABLES WILL DISCUSS THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF ACTIVE AND PLANNED NASA EOS MISSIONS.
