Solar Week is now Space Weather Explorers Week

A new program for Fall 2023

Karin Hauck

Hello heliophysics education enthusiasts, we have good news.  The Solar Week program is returning! It will have a couple of new “flavors” —that is, an expanded reach and area of focus—and because of that, we are renaming it Space Weather Explorers Week.

NASA is partnering with scientists and engineers around the country to create a space mission that will study Earth's outermost atmosphere and how it interacts with the Sun. It's a part of the space environment around Earth called the Exosphere. The mission is named the Carruthers Geocorona Observatory.

At UC Berkeley, we will be creating a website with information about the mission science, and the people behind it. The website will feature educational activities, videos, games and opportunities to talk with space scientists.

CANCELLED: Save the Date: Cal Day! Sat., Apr. 18, 2020

We're all about space! Join us for Cal Day, Saturday, April 18th, 2020, from 12 noon-5pm, the one day each year that the Space Sciences Lab at UC Berkeley opens its doors to the public. Shuttles will be transporting the public every 20 minutes or so from Hearst Mining Circle on campus to Space Sciences Lab (the last stop after Lawrence Hall of Science).  Activities include walking tours of UC Berkeley’s cutting-edge space science research lab, as well as talks on current research and hands-on activities for all ages!

"Magnetic Mars" Engages Lay Audiences in Science

The MAVEN communications and outreach team has developed a variety of resources to intrigue the public with the discoveries from its Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission, including four tips for communicating that science. An article describing these resources published today (Nov. 30, 2018) in the American Geophysical Union (AGU) journal EOS (Earth and Space Science News).

Our Bay Area Teen Science (B.A.T.S.) program aims to provide San Francisco Bay Area teenagers with the most up-to-date information available on current STEM learning and career building opportunities. Some of the best science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs, internships, and events for teenagers in the country are in the Bay Area, including many that are completely free for participants. Yet, far too often large numbers of local teens remain unaware of them, or find out about them too late. But through the B.A.T.S. network of STEM education providers and other connections, we’re in a position to alert Bay Area teens to these opportunities as soon as they are announced. In fact, for years now, these "breaking news" alerts have been regularly posted on our Facebook page and home page. However, a survey of almost 700 Bay Area teenagers made it clear that teens would prefer to get such information through email, and so we responded with the Opps For B.A.T.S. newsletter!
