SUMMARY:Reaching New Audiences with Community Dialogues
DESCRIPTION:Watch Recorded Webinar\nView Presentation Slides\nReaching New Audiences with Community Dialogues\nStaff at the National Center for Interactive Learning at the Space Science Institute have developed a Community Dialogue Strategy to empower public libraries to examine their existing practices\, and reach out to their community to ensure that their library is a welcoming and safe environment. This strategy was developed and tested with funds from the National Institutes of Health\, NASA and National Science Foundation as part of the STAR Library Education Network. Community Dialogues encourage libraries to ask the questions “who is missing from my library” and “who in the community would be a great partner for my library.” In this webinar\, participants will learn more about this innovative strategy\, and hear from public library staff who have made positive changes to their practice based on results from their own Dialogues.

SUMMARY:Mars InSight Lander
DESCRIPTION:Visit Our Event Campaign Page\n  \nInvestigating the Red Planet’s Interior Structure\nThe Mars Insight Lander touched down on Mars at around noon Pacific (3 p.m. Eastern) on Nov. 26\, 2018. The lander plunged through the thin Martian atmosphere\, heatshield first\, and use a parachute to slow down. Then\, it fired its retro rockets to slowly descend to the surface of Mars\, and land on the smooth plains of Elysium Planitia \nInSight\, short for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations\, Geodesy and Heat Transport\, is a Mars lander designed to give the Red Planet its first thorough checkup since it formed 4.5 billion years ago. It is the first outer space robotic explorer to study in-depth the “inner space” of Mars: its crust\, mantle\, and core. \nStudying Mars’ interior structure answers key questions about the early formation of rocky planets in our inner solar system – Mercury\, Venus\, Earth\, and Mars – more than 4 billion years ago\, as well as rocky exoplanets. InSight also measures tectonic activity and meteorite impacts on Mars today.

SUMMARY:Social Media Tips from NASA
DESCRIPTION:Watch Recorded Webinar\nView Presentation Slides\nSocial Media Tips from NASA\nSocial media can provide your library with a world of opportunity when it comes to promoting programs and disseminating information; yet\, to many STEM professionals and library staff\, social media is a daunting challenge. What kind of language should you use when creating a post? How do you find the best images and videos to share? What is the most effective way of delivering high quality scientific content? What platform is right for your library’s needs? \nSTAR Net is thrilled to host Jason Townsend\, NASA’s Deputy Social Media Manager\, for our upcoming webinar: Social Media Tips from NASA. Jason will pilot you through the universe of social media and share tips\, advice\, and lessons that he has learned from his experience directing some of the most-followed Twitter\, Facebook\, Instagram\, and Snapchat accounts in the world. While your library’s Twitter account may not have 26.5 million followers\, you will surely learn a few tips to help your library’s social media presence blast off!

SUMMARY:2017 Solar Eclipse
DESCRIPTION:Visit Our Event Campaign Page\n  \nThe Celestial Event of the Century\nOn August 21\, 2017\, a spectacular total eclipse of the Sun was visible across the continental U.S. for the first time since 1918. Every state had at least 65% of the Sun covered by the Moon\, and lucky people on a narrow path from Oregon to South Carolina saw the stunning beauty of totality that they will remember all their lives. \nBy the Numbers\nIt is estimated that the STAR Net Library Eclipse Project allowed 6 million people to observe the event safely. Participating libraries were estimated to have conducted around 35\,000 science programs before and during the eclipse\, reaching approximately 1\,750\,000 people.

SUMMARY:Earth Science for a Better World
DESCRIPTION:Watch Recorded Webinar\nEarth Science for a Better World\nLibrarians\, camp programmers\, and other out-of-school time facilitators are invited to join STAR_Net and the Lunar and Planetary Institute for two free professional development webinars on the STAR_Net Earth science activities. \nEarth Science for a Better World\, Part 1\nLooking for fun activities related to your local environment? This 30-minute session will model and include discussions of these activities: \n\nFastest Dresser (http://clearinghouse.starnetlibraries.org/collections/DiscoverEarth/FastestDresser.pdf)\nRace to dress in clothing and gear appropriate for a specific type of weather.\nNurturing Life (http://clearinghouse.starnetlibraries.org/collections/DiscoverEarth/NurturingLife.pdf)\nExplore what living things need to survive and thrive by creating and caring for a garden.\nRecipe for a Region (http://clearinghouse.starnetlibraries.org/collections/DiscoverEarth/RecipeForARegion.pdf)\nDiscuss how your climate influences the local agriculture\, then identify a type of food unique to the region and select (and possibly make) a recipe that features that ingredient.\n\nEarth Science for a Better World\, Part 2\nThis 45-minute session will explore our watery world and changing climate with the following activities. Participants will discuss various options for implementation\, and share ideas in how to best conduct these programs. \n\nCatch the World’s Ocean (http://clearinghouse.starnetlibraries.org/collections/DiscoverEarth/CatchWorldsOceans.pdf)\nToss a soft Earth globe and record how often your thumb is on land or on ocean.\nIce-Y Experiences (http://clearinghouse.starnetlibraries.org/collections/DiscoverEarth/Ice-yExperiences.pdf)\nPlay “Ice Bingo” by finding other participants who have had the icy experiences matching those on the game cards.\nPolar Bears Go with the Floes (http://clearinghouse.starnetlibraries.org/index.php?id_product=24&controller=product):\nPlay a board game in which chance and choice determine the fate of a polar bear on an ice floe.

SUMMARY:Celebrate Earth Day with NASA’s GLOBE Observer
DESCRIPTION:Watch Recorded Webinar\nView Presentation Slides\nCelebrate Earth Day with NASA’s GLOBE Observer\nLearn how your library can celebrate our planet on Earth Day and beyond through NASA’s GLOBE Observer (GO) citizen science project.  Library patrons can contribute to NASA Earth science by downloading the free GO app\, observing the sky\, and contributing their observations to this international program.  GO cloud observations are helping NASA scientists understand clouds from below (the ground) and above (from space). Clouds play an important role in transferring energy from the Sun to different parts of the Earth system. Because clouds can change rapidly\, scientists need frequent observations from citizen scientists. \nIn this interactive webinar\, library staff will meet with a NASA scientist\, Jessica Taylor\, and educators\, Sarah McCrea and Dorian Janney\, to learn: \n\nWhy observing clouds and sky conditions is important to NASA\nHow NASA’s GLOBE Observer citizen science observations contribute to NASA science\nHow to do sky observations with the easy-to-use GLOBE Observer app: identify satellite overpass times\, photograph clouds\, record sky observations and compare them with NASA satellite images\nWhat resources are available to support library programming on Earth Day 2017 and beyond
