(Resource List) Summer Fun for All Ages with GLOBE Citizen Science!

Join STAR Net and the NASA Earth Science Education Collaborative (NESEC) to round out planning for your 2025 summer library programs. Discover hands-on STEAM activities that can support either the Collaborative Summer Library Program (Color Our World) or iREAD (Level up at your Library with games and puzzles). These can be used in active and passive library programs to inspire and prepare patrons of all ages – from kids to seniors – to participate in NASA GLOBE Observer citizen science. This webinar will take place on March 4th at 11:00 am Mountain Standard Time.
