Education and Public Outreach
The LPI has a long tradition of space science education and public outreach through a number of programs and resources. This effort serves a wide variety of audiences, including K-12 students and educators, undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students, and the public in formal and informal venues and on local, regional, and national levels.
These programs and resources include the following:
Explore! Fun with Science - a program designed to bring space science into libraries and informal learning environments
Family Space Days - a series of space science activities for families to share with young children, held monthly at the LPI
MyMoon - an online presence promoting the use of social media to engage a target audience of 18 to 35-year-olds to appreciate and explore the Moon in a new and fun way
Cosmic Explorations: A Speakers Series - a series of public lectures presented by international experts in space science (past lectures are made available online at the LPI website)
