Explore Earth: Detecting Earthquakes...while in the Air? The most powerful U.S. earthquake in 50 years, an 8.2-magnitude tremor, recently occurred in Alaska. Typically, ground-based instruments provide data for both alerts and study of Earth's internal geology. But what if scientists could detect seismic activity while airborne? In this webinar, we'll explore a balloon-based technique that […]

Earth's saltwater ecosystems maintain a delicate yet dynamic equilibrium that has provided humans with plentiful sources of fish, shrimp and more for millennia. Phytoplankton, "the grass of the sea," serve as the foundation of this bounty, providing nutrients and oxygen for larger marine organisms. In this webinar, we'll explore how coastal communities are utilizing NASA […]
NASA STEM: Robotics for K-12 Learners NASA employees will describe how robots are preparing the way for humans to live and work on the Moon and on Mars someday. They will also explain the importance of introducing students to robotics and engineering at a young age to build up and reinforce a strong STEM pipeline. […]
Bringing Coastal Citizen Science to the Classroom with citizen science programs and K-12 educators from schools along the West Coast and coastal Alaska. What: In this 2-day workshop, teachers will be introduced to a range of citizen science projects that are actively gathering data in the coastal environment, and learn how students and classrooms can […]
Got Robots? NASA employees will describe how robots are preparing the way for humans to live and work on the Moon and on Mars someday. They will also explain the importance of introducing students to robotics and engineering at a young age to build up and reinforce a strong STEM pipeline. And they will also […]
Working in tech is not just about coding. It’s about all aspects of your career. The WITS Virtual Summit is a virtual version of the Women in Tech Summit series. WITS, the only technical conference with all women speakers, connects, educates, and inspires women working in and with technology. With discussions about trending topics in […]
NASA’s Museum in a Box program brings the physical sciences of flight alive to students in grades K-12 using interactive activities. Each lesson is centered around aeronautics with a goal to inspire future scientists, mathematicians, and engineers. The content inside Museum in a Box may be used by educators to supplement the curriculum during the […]
NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) will be the world's most powerful rocket for a new era of human exploration beyond Earth’s orbit into deep space. Join in as participants will learn about various K-12 SLS activities that can be used by educators to supplement the curriculum during the school day or as activities for after-school […]
