ASP2020: Virtual Conference, Embracing the Future: Astronomy Teaching and Public Engagement

Whether you’re involved in teaching science students via distance learning, engaging the public with remote astronomy outreach, or doing hybrid approaches, anywhere and at any level, this 132nd Annual Meeting of the ASP- and its 1st online - can’t be missed!  

Amidst a global pandemic raising challenges to education and public outreach, the emergence of genuine interest in social justice and inclusion, and global climate change, we invite K-16 educators and public engagement professionals in astronomy and related fields to share best practices, innovative ideas, lessons learned, research findings, and evaluation results to help us all move toward a better future.
 

Program strands for ASP2020 will include:
 

• Online K-16 Teaching & Learning
• Public Engagement in Informal Settings
• Science Communication & Social Media
• Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Social Justice
• Climate/Environmental Science & Dark Skies Preservation
   

Pamela Harman, Dana Backman and Coral Clark from the SETI Institute will be among the presenters.
