Summary
Earth Observation Day (EOD) is a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education and outreach event AmericaView participates in annually to celebrate the Landsat program. Since 1972 the Landsat program has maintained a collection of satellites that provide a continuous space-based record of the Earth’s surface and its changes. Scientists, researchers, farmers, forest managers, policy makers, and many others utilize Landsat satellite imagery to help make wise decisions about how to utilize precious natural resources and how to better manage our physical environment. AmericaView is a nationwide, university-based, and state-implemented network that advances Earth observation education. As part of the annual EOD celebrations, held annually as part of Earth Science Week (October), AmericaView develops engaging new tools to teach students about the beauty and power of satellite imagery.
Join representatives from DelawareView and IowaView as they bring a selection of these games to NCGE Conference attendees. After ‘testing’ several of the games, workshop participants will be given one of the game posters to take back to their classroom and ideas of integrating in classroom lessons.
