Subject: Earth Science Museum Survey online

JPL Earth Science Outreach and the Denver Museum of Natural History have
developed an online survey for informal educators (museums, zoos, aquaria,
planetaria, etc.) to understand how we can better collaborate to develop
new and worthwhile informal education programs.  The survey is located at

http://talkto.jpl.nasa.gov


NASA may be best known for its astronauts and its exploration of the solar
system, but did you know that NASA puts significant effort into exploring
our own planet Earth?  NASA Earth Science is seeking ways that the informal
education community and NASA may collaborate to increase public
understanding of our planet and how it is changing. As a first step in
NASA's development of informal education programs, NASA Jet Propulsion
Laboratory (JPL) and the Denver Museum of Natural History (DMNH), along
with several other museums and science     centers, have developed a number
of concepts and are releasing these concepts for your comment.  We want to
gather your opinions and suggestions about how a partnership of NASA Earth
Science and informal educators could best benefit your institution, the
informal education community, and the general public.

Please let your colleagues at other informal education institutions know
about this site (http://talkto.jpl.nasa.gov) so that we may gather a broad
understanding of the interests of this community.  We would like to hear
from all types of institutions: museums, science centers, youth museums,
aquaria, planetaria, zoos, etc. Your comments and priorities will help NASA
Earth Science programs and the informal education community develop
collaborative strategies that will benefit both.
