14:02:55 From Katharine Bloodworth : hi 14:03:29 From Amy Briones : Hi all! 14:05:31 From Claire Ratcliffe Adams : Science Across America blog: https://community.starnetlibraries.org/science-across-america-new-opportunity-for-libraries/ 14:06:17 From Claire Ratcliffe Adams : Press Release: https://community.starnetlibraries.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Science-Across-America-Press-Release.pdf 14:07:42 From Claire Ratcliffe Adams : Application link (survey monkey): https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VT2Q6J2 14:08:02 From Katharine Bloodworth : that was me 14:13:58 From Brooke Morrill : I'm sorry to be a bother. Could you say just a little bit about what a Community Dialogue is? 14:15:28 From Rachael Blomquist : Would showcasing youth science fair projects at the Library count as a community dialogue or does it need to be an individual who discovered something in the community? 14:17:50 From Brooks Mitchell to Hosts and panelists : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvQkEzcH9f_9OylEdmALiWg 14:17:58 From Brooks Mitchell to Hosts and panelists : ^that is their YouTube Channel - some really great STEM content on there! 14:18:28 From Claire Ratcliffe Adams : A community dialogue is an event where you invite community members to come and share their insights/concerns/suggestions on a certain topic. 14:18:48 From Claire Ratcliffe Adams : I think coupling a community dialogue with a science fair showcase would be really fun! 14:20:29 From Claire Ratcliffe Adams : You can find the guide and more resources about community dialogues here: https://www.starnetlibraries.org/deia/community-dialogues/ 14:22:34 From Cynthia Mason : Sorry, that was a mistake! 14:26:09 From Christine Johnson : Does science include engineering? 14:27:05 From Rachael Blomquist : Does the scientific achievements need to be citizen science (collecting/contributing data) or can it be STEM/STEAM based? 14:44:08 From Katharine Bloodworth : If we have already received the "Flight Path" grant, do we still have a good chance of getting the "Science Across America" Grant 14:50:42 From Brooks Mitchell to Hosts and panelists : Hey Katharine! I don't think that being involved with Flight Path would make you ineligible by any means. I'll let Anne speak further on this. 14:52:37 From Rachael Blomquist : Would DNR (Dept. of Natural Resources) qualify as a "partner?" What about Girl Scouts/Boy Scouts? 14:56:37 From Brooke Morrill : I have to leave a little early. We close at 5pm eastern. Thank you for this webinar. I'm excited to get started. 15:02:18 From Krisene Watson : When is the deadline? 15:02:27 From Michaela Crawford : I have the same question regarding participation in this program as well as the Flightpath program. Can we apply for both? 15:03:01 From Anne Holland (she/they) to Hosts and panelists : Deadline is December 27th, 2025 15:04:59 From Claire Ratcliffe Adams : Yep! Being part of Flight Path or any other STAR Net project does not exclude you from this project 15:05:22 From Rachael Blomquist : If you have a local NASA Ambassador, would that also qualify as a partner? 15:05:26 From Michaela Crawford : Great! Thank you! 15:05:27 From Katharine Bloodworth : thank you 15:05:31 From Anne Holland (she/they) to Hosts and panelists : aholland@spacescience.org 15:05:45 From Rachael Blomquist : Thank you. 15:05:50 From Kimberly King : ­­-----­­­­thank you!!!!!! 15:05:55 From Claire Ratcliffe Adams : absolutely, Rachael! 15:06:02 From Jenny Claiborne : Thank you! 15:06:04 From Claire Ratcliffe Adams : (re the NASA partner) 15:06:10 From Krisene Watson : Wonderful opportunity! Thank you!! 15:06:11 From Rachael Blomquist : Great, thank you, Claire! 15:06:23 From Katharine Bloodworth : evening
