------------------------------------------------------------
The Sun-Earth Connection
Education Forum (SECEF) welcomes all students
and teachers wishing to
participate in Solar Week,
A week-long series of
web-based educational activities and games
will be centered on
understanding our nearest star: the Sun. The
site is primarily designed to
spark the interest of pre- and early
teen girls in science by direct
interaction with female scientists
at the forefront of solar
research. All participants, male or female,
are welcome!
Participants will interact with
leading experts as they learn
about solar flares, the solar
cycle, solar eclipses and solar
observations. They will see the latest
images of the Sun from
space, build their own sundial,
make their own filter wheel,
and measure the speed of a
solar storm as it hurtles towards
the Earth. Register at www.solarweek.org

An integral element of the
Office of Space Science (OSS)
education and public outreach
strategy is the establishment of
a network for space science
to foster a wide variety of edu-
cation and public outreach
activities. This network of
institutions include (1) four Education
Forums that serve as
major centers for space science
education and public outreach
in each of the four OSS
Themes, and (2) a set of regional
Broker/Facilitators who, for
example, help arrange collab-
orations between scientists and the
education community.
The Sun-Earth Connection
Education Forum (SECEF) is a partner-
ship led by Goddard Space Flight
Center and UC Berkeley’s
Space
Sciences Laboratory. To learn more about SECEF and the
