NASA’s Universe of Learning
Helping educators engage learners in the scientific exploration of the Universe.
Team Mission
How does the Universe work? How did we get here? Are we alone? NASA’s Universe of Learning provides resources and experiences that enable educators to engage their audiences in the science, the story, and the adventure of NASA’s scientific explorations of the Universe. We are creating an integrated team of scientists, educators, and communications professionals who work together and with the education community to strengthen science education and scientific literacy, and to enable youth, families and lifelong learners to discover the Universe for themselves.
It is in our genes to understand the universe if we can, to keep trying even if we cannot, and to be enchanted by the act of learning all the way.
Lewis Thomas
What does your team hope to achieve?
