Introduction

The NASA’s Universe of Learning team creates a range of activities and resources for informal educators to use on site or online. Our products include data tools and participatory experiences that engage learners using data from NASA missions, multimedia and immersive experiences that allow users to experience the wonder of NASA discoveries, exhibits and community programs that help educators share NASA science with their local communities, and professional learning experiences that help keep educators and experts up to date with NASA discoveries and best practices. All of our resources incorporate our direct connection to the science, with the support of subject matter experts and consideration of audience needs, including the implementation of emerging technologies.
