Jeff Nee

Education Specialist
NASA Museum & Informal Education Alliance
Pasadena, California, United States

Originally from the Hampton Roads region of Virginia, Jeff grew up going to the Virginia Air and Space museum which inspired him to pursue science and gave him the dream of working at NASA. While getting his B.A. in Chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley, he started as a student teacher at the Lawrence Hall of Science planetarium where he fell in love with informal education and made it his career. From 2005 to 2016, he taught, developed, and managed a variety of hands-on science curriculum, including biology, math, physics, chemistry, astronomy, and more. He's taught in every setting including individual museum floor interactions, formal classrooms, camps, after schools, and even large auditorium audiences. He started in a 25-seat analog planetarium (the GOTO Mercury featured in the Planetarium Museum), then helped upgrade to a 50-seat Digital Sky 2 planetarium, and managed planetarium programming and operations (both fixed and portable). In 2016, he joined the Alliance team at JPL where he uses his expertise and museum/planetarium insights to better serve informal educators worldwide. He's also still an active planetarian, managing JPL's portable planetarium program for local science outreach.
