Astrobiology Summer Workshops for Educators

Over the years, NAI’s teams have produced enlightening and informative workshops for educators during their summer hiatus. This year is no exception with five exciting offerings from NAI teams at the SETI Institute, Penn State, MBL, and the University of Hawaii, and the Lunar and Planetary Institute.

The workshops are typically one week long, and include lectures and interaction with NAI scientists, tours and hands-on work in laboratories and observatories, and field trips.

The workshops are each unique, but share the common focus of conveying current information on research in astrobiology, and exploring practical ways to use that information in the classroom through hands-on, inquiry based activities and lesson plans.
