SEGway is a group of educator-scientists
working to present the latest astronomy and space science
research to students, teachers, and the general public. SEGway
actively collaborates with partners across the United States
and has developed E/PO (education and public outreach) programs
for a number of NASA space science missions including the
EUVE, FAST, RHESSI, CHIPS, STEREO/IMPACT, WISE, and THEMIS satellite
missions. SEGway has also been involved with E/PO programs for
science projects such as the National Virtual Observatory and Stardust@home.
SEGway is a part of the Center for Science Education at the
Space Sciences Laboratory (CSE@SSL) on the campus of UC Berkeley.
Most of SEGway’s programs are funded through
NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (SMD)
NASA SMD explores broad themes of research. For each theme,
SMD has created an “Education Forum” so scientists,
educators, students and the general public can share the excitement
of discoveries and knowledge generated by space science missions
and research programs. The forums are:
- Sun-Earth
Connection
- Solar
System Exploration
- Structure
and Evolution of the Universe
- Astronomical
Search for Origins and Planetary Systems
The Forums, in partnership with “Broker/Facilitator”
institutions, make up the Space Science Education and Public
Outreach “Support Network.” View NASA’s
Support Network Organization to get
the big picture on how the forum themes are interconnected.
