NASA Culturally Inclusive Planetary Engagement Workshops
Planetary scientists, astrobiologists, and informal educators are invited to apply to attend a Culturally Inclusive Planetary Engagement professional development workshop. During the workshop, scientists and educators are paired together and supported in bi-directional conversations around diversity and inclusion in engaging Black and Latinx audiences in planetary science (workshop objectives and outcomes here). Participants also co-create and lead hands-on activities during a public engagement event following the workshop held in collaboration with a local youth-serving organization. These events allow workshop participants the opportunity to practice engagement strategies discussed in the workshop. Dates, times and locations vary, find your closest workshops here.
