NASA´s Sun-Earth Connection Education Forum has sponsored and coordinated education and public outreach events to highlight NASA´s Sun-Earth Connection research discoveries. Our strategy involves using celestial events, such as total solar eclipses and the Transit of Venus, as well as Sun-Earth Day during the March Equinox, to engage K-12 schools and the general public in space science activities, demonstrations, and interactions with space scientists.
