Since 2016, a portfolio of NASA-funded projects have been working collaboratively to share NASA science widely with learners of all ages. In this panel, you will hear about some of the accomplishments and resources that have resulted across NASA Earth and Space Science. We’ll share how SciAct mobilized around major celestial events: the recent annular and total solar eclipses; as well as how the projects work together in an ongoing way to multiply their impact.
