Exploring Earth and Climate Science with Earthrise: NASA’s Monthly Collection

Introduction

In a groundbreaking initiative, NASA is launching Earthrise, a monthly collection of Earth and climate science resources aimed at empowering K-12 educators and learners. Leveraging NASA’s extensive digital community and collaborating with federal partners, Earthrise promises a focused exploration of our planet’s dynamic science landscape. This blog post delves into the details of this exciting endeavor and invites educators to be part of this enriching experience.

Connecting Educators and Learners

Transitioning seamlessly into 2024, Earthrise stands as an opportunity for educators and learners to access a wealth of resources. By tapping into NASA’s digital community of practice and collaborating with a vast network of learners associated with federal partners, this initiative creates a dynamic platform for exploration and learning.

Monthly Collections for Continuous Learning

The heartbeat of Earthrise lies in its monthly collections, carefully curated to offer a diverse range of Earth and climate science resources. Starting from January 2024, educators can anticipate a monthly delivery that will serve as a valuable toolkit for enhancing classroom experiences. Each collection will be a treasure trove, bringing fresh insights and engaging materials for educators to incorporate into their teaching plans.

Beyond the Classroom: A Summer Working Group

The commitment to education doesn’t end with the school year. Earthrise envisions a continuous engagement, extending its impact into the summer and beyond. A regular working group will be established to gather insights, share experiences, and collaboratively plan for the sustained delivery of resources, ensuring a seamless learning experience for educators and learners alike.

Educating a Generation: The Core Mission

At its core, Earthrise is a mission to educate and inspire. By providing K-12 educators with readily available resources, NASA aims to enhance the understanding of Earth and climate science among the nation’s children. This initiative underscores the importance of instilling a sense of responsibility in safeguarding our home planet.
