  4. A Vision for Lunar Science:When curiosity & context overlap Natural Curiosity/ Awe Search for Meaning/ Scientific Method Engagement in Science

  5. What engages someone? AWE. “What New York Times articles were forwarded the most?” Awe Awe is strongly related to viralty.

  6. Outline • Our Moon: The NASA Lunar Science Institute • Rich student experiences • Personal and vibrant content exchange • Citizen Science • An invitation to YOU

  7. What is NLSI? The NASA Lunar Science Institute (NLSI) is… • A virtual institute: Highly integrated teams connected through advanced communications tools • 7 funded US teams, 5 international partners • All things lunar, geared towards the needs of our space program

  8. The NASA Lunar Science Institute

  9. Student Programs • Website developed by high school students to engage the public in lunar science • NLSI Summer Internship programs

  10. Social & Multi Media: Connect Make science commonplace Bring scientists down to Earth Develop community Share perspectives Engage

  15. Citizen Science NLSI is a partner in the Moon Zoo project, set to launch very soon. NLSI involvement: • Science Team expertise and advising • Educational & Outreach Efforts • Closed Beta test NOW (ask me!)

  16. Citizen Science Principles • can only be done via human crowd sourcing • will contribute to scientific literature • doable by all (with computer, no fancy equipment required)

  17. Galaxy Zoo: Participation Motivation Astronomy Contribute Vastness

  18. Public Engagement in Lunar Science How is it YOUR Moon?

  19. Who gazes through the telescope? YOU.

  20. Who talks with NASA?YOU

  21. Who analyzes data? YOU.

  22. An Invitation to collaborate • International– Strong EPO • We invite collaborators! • Collaboration: • We want to share resources, have broader dissemination of resources • If any of the projects here interest you, let us know! • Stay connected @NLSI on Twitter
