Educators Get Hands-On with Astromaterials at the Space Exploration Educators Conference (SEEC)


The Space Exploration Educators Conference (SEEC), an annual conference that provides hands-on activity sessions and opportunities to connect with NASA content and experts, took place at Space Center Houston from February 6-9, 2020.

The Astromaterials Research & Exploration Science (ARES) Science Engagement Team reached 200+ educators:

  • Conducting a Lunar and Meteorite Sample Disk Certification workshop as a pre-conference opportunity.
  • Participating in the SEEC Expo, in collaboration with other Science Activation Teams.
  • Facilitated two hands-on activity sessions highlighting Earth and planetary exploration & sharing Subject Matter Expert, Dr. Paul Abel, as well as interact with Astromaterials samples.

Participant feedback was extremely positive, especially with regard to the opportunity to interact with SMEs, unique NASA assets, and engaging and relevant content that showcased current NASA exploration and research.

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
