Working with the Science Museum of Minnesota, SSU faculty, staff, and students create, test, and review hands-on activity toolkits and professional development opportunities & resources for museums and science center staff and volunteers. This work is a part of NASA's Space and Earth Informal STEM Education Project. Dr. Peticolas leads the SSU effort to provide scientific expertise in these activities aimed to raise the capacity of museums and informal science educators to engage the public in NASA's research and discoveries in Heliophysics, Earth Science, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. SSU students test activities and provide new ideas for educating the public about Earth & Space Science.
