I would like to pass along a great opportunity especially for children and youth librarians. Registration is now open for the two webinars listed below. Please note that the two webinars are different – they will feature different hands-on activities and resources in each.
Explore NASA Space Science Webinar
Growing up Moon
Connect children and youth with your library’s space science resources!
Join us for a FREE NASA-supported webinar – a professional development opportunity designed to help you bring space science to your children’s and youth programs through hands-on activities.
Friday, August 10, 2012
1-3 p.m. CT
Space is limited! Register at
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/
During the webinar you will:
- Learn about our Moon’s origins and its long and turbulent history.
- Follow along as Lunar and Planetary Institute staff members conduct hands-on activities designed specifically for children and youth ages 8 to 13 in the library learning environment. Participants are encouraged to do the activities for themselves during the webinar (using inexpensive, easily acquired materials purchased ahead-of-time).
- Explore ideas for presenting space science programs to young audiences.
Registered participants will receive connection information and an agenda prior to the webinar. We will also provide a materials list so that participants may join in the fun and perform the activities at their computers!
