Building Resilient Communities

The Building Resilient Communities Project: Webinar Series 

Interested in how libraries can respond to climate change? As part of our joint Building Resilient Communities project [hyper link] our friends at WebJunction are holding two webinars in the coming weeks. On November 21, learn about Building Community in a Changing Climate. And on December 5, join their discussion on Climate Change Communication: How and why to do it in libraries. You can find can also find their previous climate change webinar here. For other resources, topical background papers, and more check out the project website.

Nise Network Online Workshops

Online Workshop: Co-creation & You - Inspiring Partner Stories from Participants of the Co-Created Public Engagement with Science Project
December 3rd 12pm - 1pm  


Many informal science education institutions have used co-creation approaches when developing and implementing public engagement with science activities as a way to include community priorities and perspectives. This approach focuses on responding to community issues as viewed by the community themselves, and allows informal science education institutions to work with civic and community partners to meaningfully engage on these topics. Join us as we chat with NISE Network partners that participated in the NSF-funded “Building Capacity For Co-Created Public Engagement with Science” (CC-PES) Project. These partners will share insights into their unique adaptations of the co-creation model and how they worked within their own communities to create and host public engagement with science activities. We will also hear from project evaluators, who will provide context about the project and their findings from this work.

“The STAR Library Network (STAR Net) is a hands-on learning network for libraries and their communities across the country. STAR Net focuses on helping library professionals build their STEM skills by providing “science-technology activities and resources” (STAR) and training to use those resources.
STAR Net is built upon a strong network of collaborators and partners, led by the Space Science Institute’s (SSI) National Center for Interactive Learning (NCIL).
Funding is provided by the National Science Foundation, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, NASA Office of STEM Engagement, and the NASA Science Mission Directorate.

A PASSPORT TO THE UNIVERSE
by Martha Saladino at NASA’s Universe of Learning
Seward is a scenic town in south central Alaska. Typical activities in the area include wandering in the Kenai Fjords National Park, observing the wildlife at Resurrection Bay, and visiting the Alaska SeaLife Center. Yet, in the summer of 2022, the Seward Community Library & Museum put together a not-so-typical event, taking participants on a trip to discover the wonders of the universe beyond Earth and learn how we know about them.

Webinar: Experience Solar Maximum with the Astronomical League’s Observing Challenge
by Claire Ratcliffe Adams (SSI)
Did you know that the Sun goes through its own phases? Approximately every 11 years, the Sun’s magnetic field goes through a cycle where the magnetic field completely flips, meaning that the Sun’s north and south poles switch places! Check out this webinar recording and solar resources!
