NASA SCoPE Learning Resources

The NASA SMD Community of Practice for Education (NASA SCoPE) is a NASA Science Activation (SciAct) team connecting science/engineering subject matter experts with NASA education experts. The SCoPE cultivates a community of practice between NASA science and engineering experts, early career scientists and the NASA Science Activation. This community is a collaborative effort to communicate NASA science through the creation of inspiring educational materials that are effective, scientifically authentic, and broaden participation of historically marginalized communities.

The following resources were created in collaboration with various NASA Science Activation teams, funded by a NASA SCoPE Mission Liaison grant from Arizona State University to Lunar Trailblazer team member Jasper Miura.
