Informal Education Programs
NASA's ESE seeks to increase public scientific literacy of Earth system science and climate change by engaging the public in shaping and sharing the experience of exploration and discovery. NASA is doing this by:
Providing engaging Earth system science content and human resource support to informal learning institutions for the benefit of all learners; and
Cultivating citizens' abilities to get the data, resources and information they need to satisfy their own curiosity about how the Earth system works and/or take actions to meet individual or societal needs.
Informal learning opportunities arise in many venues, including museums, science and nature centers, public lands management groups and agencies, community and youth groups, and the mass media. NASA Earth system science informal education efforts are building and maintaining relationships with informal educators, with a focus on providing content and expertise for these professionals. The program also develops and distributes a rich variety of Earth system science education resources and materials that can be used by informal educators and audiences—these are listed in the "Products & Resources" section of the current catalog. This section describes informal education projects and activities that are supported by NASA's ESE.
