Cherilynn Morrow,
"Enhancing Your Eclipse Experience with Novel Outreach Activities Created by the NASA PUNCH Mission"

Friday Sep 22 2pm ET



Dr. Cherilynn Morrow, is the director of the Public Engagement (or Outreach) program embedded in NASA’s PUNCH mission. PUNCH (Polarimeter to UNify the Corona and Heliosphere) is designed to study the Sun's outer corona and the space weather of the entire inner heliosphere as a unified system. Our multi-institutional public engagement team aligns all of its activities and events with an Ancient & Modern Sun-watching theme to make NASA heliophysics more personally and culturally relevant to a broader diversity of people.  The theme portrays NASA's exploration of the Sun as a natural extension of ancient Sun-watching as exemplified in Chaco Canyon and all over the world. Our activities are developed and field-tested via collaborations with mission team members, blind and low vision learners, Native and Hispanic youth and families, and girls in STEM. These collaborations have led us to develop multi-sensory, multicultural, arts-integrated activities of benefit to all people.  Dr. Morrow's seminar shares a subset of these activities, emphasizing those that can be used in your eclipse event, whether celebrating with your family or contributing to a larger event.  These activities are effective ways to engage participants whether you are on or off the path of totality or for any event featuring the Sun, whether or not an eclipse is in play.
