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

SUMMARY:Playful Building
DESCRIPTION:Watch Recorded Webinar\nPlayful Building\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 Playful Building activities. Watch one or both webinars and receive connection information & directions to help you better participate in the activities during the webinar(s). \nPlayful Building: Simple Machines\nThis 30 minute webinar will model Team Machine\, Water Wedges\, and Levers at Play\, as examples of simple machines that the children can plan\, design\, test\, and revise. Elements of the engineering design process will be explored in each. \nPlayful Building: Design Challenges\nThis 60 minute webinar will explore the engineering design process through open-ended activities to design a park\, a water filter\, and a wind turbine. Participants will discuss various options for implementation\, and share ideas in how to best conduct these programs

SUMMARY:Girls STEAM Ahead with NASA
DESCRIPTION:Watch Recorded Webinar\nView Presentation Slides\nGirls STEAM Ahead with NASA\nNASA’s Universe of Learning astronomy education program is celebrating National Women’s History Month with the Girls STEAM Ahead with NASA project\, which partners libraries with NASA scientists and educators to empower girls and their families in STEM! During the webinar\, we will introduce Girls STEAM Ahead with NASA\, discuss how to build girl-engagement into your programming\, and demonstrate hands-on coding activity that uses real astronomical observations in the ways real astronomers do. We’ll also connect you to a suite of support materials\, such as exhibits\, activities\, and even some posters inspired by the women depicted in new film Hidden Figures!

SUMMARY:Is Your Library Ready for the Astronomical Event of the Decade?
DESCRIPTION:Watch Recorded Webinar\nView Presentation Slides\nIs Your Library Ready for the Astronomical Event of the Decade?\nOn August 21\, 2017\, we will be treated to the first total eclipse of the Sun visible in the continental U.S. in almost 40 years. The spectacular total eclipse will only be visible in a narrow band about 60 miles across\, stretching diagonally across the country from a beach in Oregon to a beach in South Carolina. However\, everyone in North America will see a partial solar eclipse\, where a big “bite” will be taken out of the Sun. \nThis will be the first major U.S. eclipse of the Internet age\, and most people will need clear reliable information on when and how to observe the eclipse of the Sun safely. Astronomers are hoping libraries will play a key role in getting this information out to their communities. Working with astronomy groups in their communities\, they could also be a central place for safe observing. \nGet an early start in preparing for this eclipse\, how to explain it\, how to observe it safely\, and what role libraries can play in organizing and informing their communities. \nJoin us for a 45 minute webinar where you’ll get great information about the eclipse\, and be able to ask questions about the role your library can play. Hosts: Dennis Schatz (NSTA\, Pacific Science Center)\, and Andrew Fraknoi (Foothill College; co-author of a new book on eclipse education). Click here for an Eclipse FAQ sheet.
