E/PO Goals and Overview
• THEMIS E/PO is fully aligned with NASA OSS education goals:– Enhance the quality of science, math and technology
education for pre-college level– Share the excitement of space science discoveries
with the public– Help create our 21st century scientific and technical
work force• THEMIS team is committed to E/PO:
Bester, Bonnell, Lin, Carlson, Russelland the PI Angelopoulos are
involved in public talks and science validation (cont.)

Formal Education ProgramsGeomagnetic Event Observation Network by
Students (GEONS)
UNIQUE opportunity for THEMIS to entice students about NASA SEC
The network of the 10 teachers, students, at E/PO magnetometer sites together with other students who participate using the web and monitoring the magnetic activity is called the Geomagnetic Event Observation Network by Students (GEONS).
Schools will be selected by state-wide competition and will have the following selection criteria:
– Commitment of schools – acceptance of the program by the administration
– Longitudinal spread in each 10 states provide wide geographic coverage
– Local infrastructure- Electric Power, Internet Connection,
– Potential for reaching large community of students/teachers
– Site’s potential for discoveries – away from highways, large trucks, rural sites
UCLA provides technical users manuals along with GMAG unit– Will install 5 Magnetometers with computers in Summer ’04 and 5 in Summer ’05
– Will provide ground data processing, data access, archiving procedures, and data display on school
computer.

E/PO-7 THEMIS/PDRUCB 11/12/2003
Formal Education ProgramsGeomagnetic Event Observation Network by
Students (GEONS)
• Astronomy Café
– rewrites the users manual for school usage, including a description of
the data display in appropriate language
– develops guides/materials aligned with NSES
– leverages IMAGE’s MagNet with existing school networks
– participates in the GEONS teacher workshops
• The first GEONS workshop for these schools@UCB in Summer 2004 and
second @SACNAS in Summer 2005
– Summer 2004: experimenting, testing, setting up a web-archive
– Summer 2005: regarding classroom experiences and revising the
classroom resources
• Additional GBOs to E/PO sites (cont..)

Reaching Underserved Groups
• Chicano and Native-American Teachers at Tribal Colleges/ High Schools as Ground Based Magnetometer sites (GEONS)
– MT, SD, ND, NV
• Tap into SACNAS Teacher Workshops - Field-test THEMIS materials w/ teachers in El Paso, TX provide feedback ( Prof. Lopez)
• National Teacher Professional Workshops
• Rural Teachers reached through GEMS site in Nevada, launched through THEMIS E/PO

E/PO-12 THEMIS/PDRUCB 11/12/2003
Dissemination
• SACNAS Partnership (Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans)
• Leveraging from SECEF, IMAGE and FAST E/PO programs
• 8 Space Grant Consortia and their affiliates (113 institutions)
• Student Observation Network (S.O.N.) of SECEF would like to include our program.
– The S.O.N. program guides students through tracking solar storms from start to finish.
– They need GM and GBO data!!
• NASA Broker/Facilitators and other National Networks
• NSTA-National, Regional and Local Meetings/Workshops
