Upcoming free professional learning one-hour online workshop:
Online Workshop: DIY NASA Exhibits with Earth Information Center & ViewSpace
Did you know that NASA has freely available DIY exhibit resources including print-you-own signs and interpretive panels, graphics, digital interactive components, and continually updated content that you can use to build your own museum exhibits?
Please join us for this online workshop as we explore how to set up these NASA exhibits at your location, featuring resources and content from NASA's Earth Information Center and ViewSpace. Learn details about how you could incorporate these exhibits into your museum or science center including options for installation, design examples, space needs, minimum technological requirements, and the range of costs.
We will be joined by Eleanor Stokes, Program Manager at NASA's Earth Information Center, and Timothy Rhue II, Principal Informal Education Specialist at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), who together will discuss how museums and science centers can use these relevant NASA resources to benefit their local audiences.
The Earth Information Center (EIC) aims to provide a holistic view of how the planet is changing in ways that affect the lives and livelihoods of individuals across the globe. More than just displaying data, the EIC demonstrates the intersection between local environmental conditions and global change. Awe-inspiring visualizations, interactive media and narratives show how Earth data benefits society and provides visitors an opportunity to explore Earth observations for their own decision-making.
ViewSpace is a free, web-based collection of digital interactives and videos highlighting the latest developments in astronomy and Earth science. ViewSpace gives you the opportunity to explore our planet, solar system, galaxy, and universe from different perspectives, discovering how we can combine information to better understand the universe. The ViewSpace team has worked hard to create a clear website for how to use ViewSpace in museums, with instructions for print-your own signage and much more.
