The NASA Education Forum at SAO on the Structure and Evolution of the Universe
The past year for the SEU Forum has been a highly productive one and has moved us forward on three major objectives: 1) Using the Einstein Centennial to involve the public in the Universe Exploration theme, with emphasis on exciting discoveries about dark energy, cosmology, and black holes; 2) Further implementing the recommendations of the Knappenberger Report, in order to strengthen the educational coherence of our collective activities and our collaborations within NASA; and 3) Developing strategic partnerships with underserved communities and other key customers. Among our activities for the past year are the following: 1) Serving the Informal Science Education Communities; 2) Serving the Formal Education (Pre-college) Community; and 3) Serving Minority and Underserved Communities. A summary of goals, plans and activities for the year 9/15/05 through 9/14/06 are also presented.
