| Abstract: |
The National Informal STEM Education Network (NISE Network) is a community of informal educators and scientists dedicated to supporting learning about science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) across the United States. The Network creates resources and coordinates activities on a national and regional level, while Network partners coordinate and implement project activities locally. The NISE Network worked with museum educators nationwide to give them the tools and resources needed to raise their capacity to prepare their institutions to engage their visitors in the 2018 solar eclipse. This effort included professional development materials for staff and volunteers, online workshops, training materials, promotional materials, safety guides, event planning, and public engagement activities. |
