Howdy!
Our student video podcast is swinging into full gear! Our first videos will focus on our solar system, and the scripts are being written this month. However, we need your help!
- Are you a student? Do you have a video camera and video editing software? Then contribute a podcast! We can provide scripts and we have some volunteers to help find photos to use. Each video should be 5-10 minutes long. For more details and to volunteer, e-mail Keri Bean at outreach@seds.org
- Are you an educator (any grade level or university level) or space nerd with a bit of free time? We need volunteers to edit scripts and double check for accuracy. If you’re interested, please send an e-mail with your name, title, and areas of research/interest to Keri Bean at outreach@seds.org
Another podcast we’re contributing to is the 365 Days of Astronomy! Are you a student with a neat job, sweet co-op, or a fun research project that’s space-related? Share your experience with the world! Sign up for a day at http://365daysofastronomy.org/
April 2-5 is the 100 Hours of Astronomy event (http://100hoursofastronomy.org/). April 12 also celebrates the the day when Yuri Gagarin made the first spaceflight (and the first space shuttle launch!), and parties are held across the globe during Yuri’s Night (http://yurisnight.net/). Since April 12 falls on Easter this year, most will be celebrating early. We’re coordinating student parties to celebrate both Yuri’s Night and the 100 Hours of Astronomy event! If you’re interested in getting tips on running a joint celebration, contact Keri Bean at outreach@seds.org.
