Over the next two years, the Lunar and Planetary Institute will offer
several free NASA two-day workshops with multiple pre-teen activities
about the Solar System for out-of-school settings in Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia, starting with one May
21-22 in State College, Pennsylvania. Although the primary audience is

collaboration and sustainable partnerships with other community
organizations within this region, including science centers and museums!
All participants will
* Meet NASA scientists and learn about the Juno mission to Jupiter
* Participate in hands-on activities designed for youth programs
in a library or park setting
* Explore ideas for presenting space science programs to a
pre-teen audience
* Receive copies of all of the activities and a $350 stipend
(available for 25 participants on a first-come-first-accepted basis) for
completing the workshop.
