Last year, we were honored to bring you resources for an uncertain educational landscape, including professional development seminars and innovative resources for virtual learning solutions. We’re thrilled to have worked with incredible educators across the country to provide what you’ve come to expect from EiE programs: adaptable, engaging resources that inspire STEM literacy in learners of all ages.

Have you ever traveled in an airplane? Do you remember the first time you flew? How about the names of the inventors who patented the first airplane?

Exciting news from the EiE team! We've been accepted to present our design principles for inclusivity at this year's American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting - a global, virtual conference for Earth and Space Science professionals.

As part of our ongoing collaborations with NASA, we are thrilled to announce that EiE will be continuing and expanding upon our free PLANETS STEM curricula and resources.

 

It may not surprise you to learn that there are a few Star Wars fans on the EiE staff. We wanted to celebrate Star Wars Day EiE style, so we started brainstorming the ways in which our units connect with the Star Wars universe. It goes beyond rockets and rovers: the Star Wars films feature levitating devices and high-tech helmets, too! Star Wars scholars have written books about the scientific virtues of Star Wars, and no one can deny how much of a catalyst it is for STEM enthusiasts’ imaginations. It has inspired NASA engineers to chase their dreams, robotic engineers to design R2-D2-style robot companions, and Australian scientists to design holograms! If your class loves Star Wars as much as we do, they’ll love these out-of-this-world connections.
