Building Space Weather Literacy Through Sustained Engagement
Space weather affects all space systems, both natural and artificial. There is a rapid growth of awareness in past decades of this reality and a critical need for space weather prediction due to technology advances. Above all, space weather science and its history are outstanding vehicles for teaching science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics. As a white paper group, we recommend that the Decadal Survey builds space weather literacy within K–14 classrooms and the general public, covering all areas of studies in Heliophysics through sustained engagement beyond celestial and spacecraft events.
