This workshop is tentatively scheduled for the last week in March, subject to change. The final dates will be announced by the end of January. This workshop is focused on providing professional development for media professionals on the content area related to MAVEN. 

As MAVEN science is complex, the MAVEN E/PO program aims to help ensure that new media practitioners are sharing correct and accurate science and engineering concepts related to MAVEN with the public. One approach to meeting this goal is to provide professional development to media professionals on science, technology, and engineering as they relate to MAVEN and the science of MAVEN. The goal of professional development for new media is not primarily to promote a specific news story around MAVEN. The intent is to broaden and deepen journalists’ understanding of space science and to promote increased communication and understanding among new media practitioners, traditional journalists, scientists, and educators. These New Media Practitioner Professional Development Workshops  are two 2-day workshops for bloggers, journalists, and people actively involved in accurate science tweets on MAVEN-related science, technology and engineering concepts.
