The Broader Impact of NRAO Goal: To increase appreciation for Radio Astronomy, and the NRAO locally, regionally, nationally. Scientific literacyScientific literacy Encourage STEM CareersEncourage STEM Careers Science is accessible, and funScience is accessible, and fun

Teacher Programs Core experience: Scientific Research on the 40 Ft. telescope. Team research/NRAO scientist mentors Astronomy content Research talks In-depth tours Classroom application Proven to change teacher practices in the classroom.

Student Programs Student Programs Overnight (or longer) field trips Extended tours 2000 students have used the 40 Foot telescope over the past 12 months. Grade School to Grad School

West Virginia Governor’s School Goal: to encourage students’ interest in STEM careers before they enter high school. 60 rising freshman/year.

Public Programs Tour Program Star Quest SARA

… good to the last drop Virginia… … I can’t believe I ate the whole thing. Brylcream… …NRAO??? Public Relations

Quiet Skies Students will: Measure interference levels at schools and in communities; Reduce and transmit data to an NRAO data base; Debate how the spectrum should be allocated. Goal: to promote student awareness of radio astronomy and radio frequency interference through an inquiry-based research project. Quiet Skies Detector North America at Night

NRAO Navigators Goal: to train outreach volunteers to spread the word about radio astronomy and NRAO. Navigator David Fields with youth group in Tennessee November 2008: Night Sky Network clubs and a record 102 participants, tuned into a training telecon.
