STEAM Innovation Alaska Outpost

The UAF Geophysical Institute will soon house the Alaska Outpost of the NASA STEAM Innovation Lab, a think tank with emphasis on space science content applications. While the lab at NASA brings together NASA scientists, engineers and educators to explore and develop ways to infuse educational technology into STEM activities, programs, and approaches, outposts facilitate use of these resources by learners around the globe.

With funding from the NASA Heliophysics Education Activation Team, the Alaska outpost will support applications relevant and accessible to Alaska’s learners. Once established, the outpost will support field trips and informal learning opportunities locally, and will develop mobile lab kits that can be shipped to rural sites. The outpost will also host events during the year to inspire and sustain interest in space and technology.
