Meeting Information
The Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP) is pleased to announce its 128th Annual Meeting, a special STEM outreach conference focused on preparations for the 2017 solar eclipse that will be visible across North America. Join us December 8-9, 2016 at the Moonrise Hotel in St. Louis, Missouri for “Engage Every Child in the 2017 Solar Eclipse: Working Together with Diverse and Underserved Communities Across America.” The vast majority of the population in North America will experience a spectacular partial solar eclipse in their hometowns and could participate in eclipse events at venues such as schools, local parks, libraries, and other sites in their neighborhoods. This conference will concentrate on the task of ensuring broad participation in the August 21, 2017 solar eclipse, especially among diverse and underserved communities off the eclipse’s path of totality. The goals of the conference are to:

(a) convene a mix of outreach-minded scientists, educators, and eclipse enthusiasts together with national STEM Leaders working in underserved > communities interested in engaging youth in 2017 eclipse programs,
(b) create a dialogue between the astronomy outreach community and STEM Leaders working with underserved audiences for the purposes of sharing successful eclipse outreach activities as well as best practices for working with underserved youth
(c) provide STEM leaders with direct access to the astronomy expertise and resources they need to plan and implement successful eclipse programs for their communities, and
(d) forge lasting partnerships and collaborations between STEM Leaders working in underserved communities and the astronomy education community.
