Welcome to the NASA Science Mission Directorate Education and Public Outreach Community Workspace!

This workspace provides resources to assist individuals funded by NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (SMD) in carrying out their SMD education and public outreach programs. Program leads and team members should login to post announcements and calendar events, share work in progress, and participate in group discussions. Information and documents that may be of interest to all, such as tips for getting involved in SMD education and public outreach and meeting notes, may be accessed without logging into the workspace. This site is hosted by the NASA SMD Science Education and Public Outreach Forums.
