September 18, 2023
Planetary scientists and astrobiologists are invited to apply to attend the Culturally Inclusive Planetary Engagement professional development workshop from November 2-4, 2023, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Planetary science and astrobiology scientists (including graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, engineers, and technicians) and informal science educators are invited to apply to attend this workshop to discuss strategies for engaging diverse audiences, specifically Black and Latinx youth and their families, in planetary science and exploration. Participants will share their cultural identities, knowledge, and experiences in engaging diverse audiences, as well as practice strategies and hands-on planetary science activities during a public event at EcoExploratorio.
The deadline to apply is 5:00 p.m. CDT, October 1, 2023. Stipends are available for participants able to accept them. More information, including a link to the application, is available online at Culturally Inclusive Planetary Engagement Workshop.
