Abstract: Over the years, our community of astronomy educators and outreach professionals has developed many wonderful activities to leverage the excitement and wonder of solar eclipses. Yet there is still room for innovations that complement and extend what already exists in ways that enrich both teacher and learner. This panel is composed of members of a multi-institutional collaborative in the U.S. Southwest that is the backbone of an Outreach/Public Engagement program embedded in the NASA PUNCH mission. PUNCH is designed to image the solar corona and the “space weather” between Sun and Earth with unprecedented quality and continuity. Each presenter will describe enduring activities (currently in field testing and development) that will be released to the broader community in time for use with the upcoming annular and total solar eclipses and beyond.
