Dillon Connelly (he/they): Well. Dillon Connelly (he/they): all right. Well, thanks everyone for joining us today. This is the third and our series. It's your virtual training all about citizen science and eclipse programming. Today we are absolutely thrilled to be joined by some wonderful folks. We're involved with the Globe Observer program to talk about their special Dillon Connelly (he/they): eclipse app that they're pushing out through Globe Observer to be available during the Eclipse Dillo
n Connelly (he/they): talking all about that which is really really It's it's a i'm gonna go ahead and get started to that. Dillon Connelly (he/they): So what I thought we'd go around. All the presenters might be able to introduce themselves. My name is Dylan Connelly. My pronouns are he and they I'm. An education specialist at the Space Science Institute, the National Center for interactive learning, and I'm joined today by some work for people who are allowed to introduce themselves right now.
Claire Ratcliffe Adams (she/her): Everybody welcome. My name is Claire R. With Adams. My pronouns are she Her and I'm. An education associate at the Space Science Institute, located in Boulder, Colorado. Theresa Schwerin: Hi, everybody! My name is Theresa Schwerin and my pron answer. She hers. Theresa Schwerin: and I am vice president of education at the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies. I am a former librarian and good part of my job is engaging in libraries and citizen science to
Globe Observer. Jessica Taylor: Hello, everyone. My name is Jessica Taylor. My pronouns are she her and I am a scientist at NASA's Langley Research Center that's located in Hampton Virginia, and I lead the Globe Clouds Project Kevin Czajkowski: everyone. I'm. Kevin Sakowski, I'm, a professor at the University of Toledo, in the Department of Geography, and Planning and i'm the pi for the Glow Mission Earth Project. Dillon Connelly (he/they): Awesome thanks so much. Everyone. So our agenda Today
we're going to do some brief introduction to also do a quick icebreaker just to get everybody's brain thinking of a citizen science thing. Dillon Connelly (he/they): Then i'll do a brief introduction to the Seal Project or the Solar List activities for Libraries Project. Claire is gonna be sending out a a a link bank, which is also our getting started with steel resource blog, which i'll be talking about in a bit which has all of the resources you need to get started with the field project. Dill
on Connelly (he/they): Then we'll be doing a quick introduction to globe, a clip. Dillon Connelly (he/they): talking about a fantastic opportunity for you all to apply for a free Globe Eclipse library, kit that has some thermometers, a bunch of really cool stuff in there to do some really cool observations during the cliff. Dillon Connelly (he/they): We'll talk about how to go further with globe, using blurb globe surface temperature, and then we'll open it up for a. Q. A. At the end. So we got
a lot of information to share with you. I think it's going to be really fun hour. Dillon Connelly (he/they): So just to think about kind of i'm sure if you've joined us from one of our previous citizen, Science eclipse Webinars, you might recognize the vice breaker. But since we're getting all sorts of different people, I really think it's a good place to to start our thinking today. So, citizen science is a great way to connect your community with big ideas about what Dillon Connelly (he/they):
citizen science is all about. People all over the world, collecting data and Dillon Connelly (he/they): contributing to huge data sets that can provide really, really big pictures of what's going on in the world around us. Dillon Connelly (he/they): So if you all would be so kind, I see people are already introducing themselves in the chat. I would love for you all to throw some ways in the chat of what are ways either STEM related or not, that you connected your community and your library to b
ig ideas. Dillon Connelly (he/they): I was lucky enough. I'll share a little story. I was lucky enough to when I, in the 2,017 total eclipse. working at a small Natural History museum in Rhode Island, called the Roger Williams Dillon Connelly (he/they): Museum, and we had a big eclipse event. It was huge, and we were lucky enough to get some solar eclipse glasses from a local library which we helped us out, and was able to give us some viewing glasses, and we were able to connect families with i
deas around solar science. Dillon Connelly (he/they): History is the eclipse really really cool, just hopefully like something you all are going to be doing in 2,023, and 2,024. Dillon Connelly (he/they): So we got some I some answers coming into the chat fast all right, fast and hot. So we've got. Dillon Connelly (he/they): I'll not only said we had a citizen science scavenger hunt. Each clue had a different Citizen Science project. But QR. Code to sign up for that project. That's a fantastic i
dea. I love that I am going to be feeling that, and recommending that to people. Dillon Connelly (he/they): Karen, that I hope to host our eclipse event at our local wildlife refuge. They'll be having refuge days. That's a fantastic idea. I love partner with other organizations Dillon Connelly (he/they): to do eclipse programming. Dillon Connelly (he/they): Bobby said they had an event with glasses, sunny d moon, pies of eclipse, info and craft. Dillon Connelly (he/they): Sunny D is the perfect
eclipse beverage. I love that. That's fantastic. And moon pies. What a great great the message idea! Dana said, that they worked with their High School Science Department do a presentation for the 2,017 cliff. Dillon Connelly (he/they): Fantastic can't offer Citizen science clips with their kids at their library, and they've done some side sort of projects in their bag. Fantastic we have. We've done 2 previous Webinars with side started. They're posted to our Youtube page. You can also find link
s to those and are getting started with. Dillon Connelly (he/they): or it's a deal of blog Seig started has some amazing projects and access to this and science project I highly recommend You'll check those out and check out those webinars for more information on how to get involved with Dillon Connelly (he/they): Justin said they planted native native plants, Rain Garden to recapture rain from their roof and reintroduce Dillon Connelly (he/they): the neighborhood. Amazing project, Kelly said I'
ve done the crowd. The tap in our community, which is a nationwide citizen science project that teaches people how to test their water and report material to water pipes in their home. Really important work, as you know, as we know, pipes and types. Dillon Connelly (he/they): abilities transferred clean water, huge issue in this country. That's a really really cool project to be involved with Miriam Gray from heart, Michigan, that we ordered eclipse classes and hosts an event at the Heart Public
Library for the last eclipse. Dillon Connelly (he/they): Absolutely, Laura said. Bird, watching focused programs that encourage participation in Eber, really really fantastic great citizen science. Happy birth. Jesse, at Brockham Public Library, said, we use the last eclipse to showcase our star vis and tools that are available for checkout and teaching how to use them fantastic. So glad to hear you have some stargazing equipment as a search. the I, Dillon Connelly (he/they): Deirdre said. We h
ave a huge library event during the 2,017 eclipse Dillon Connelly (he/they): standing room only with people lining up 3 h ahead of time. That's so cool for you, as you say, who would imagine such interest in a library? But I think that's one of the powers of these eclipses, you know Dillon Connelly (he/they): There's such a rare event, and especially in the Us. Getting sort of, you know, totality or big coverage for annularity. Really, really a great opportunity to have a big big community event
at your library. Dillon Connelly (he/they): Paula said. We've had some few programs with a meteorologist who's hobby of stargazing. He owns several large telescope uses for programs. Fantastic connecting with local enthusiasts is a really great way to get scientists and subject matter experts involved Dillon Connelly (he/they): on the getting started with field resource blog posts. There's some links to NASA's night tang network, and the Solar System Ambassadors, which are great ways. If you've
never used the nightcare, or sorry I think J. The nice guy network is jtl. but night sky number. So we're fantastic to find a local astronomy clubs and local enthusiasts in your area. You're looking for experts Dillon Connelly (he/they): to come and meet your event. Dillon Connelly (he/they): Sandy said. We just got a grant for citizen science, Kits, and we'll be doing programming with that this summer. Last year we had the plant Wildflower Brand got pollinator for friendly plants and planters.
Pollinator. Events always really fantastic Dillon Connelly (he/they): pollinators like these, you know. We're threatened right now because of climate change, all that stuff. So Po pollinator, education super important Dillon Connelly (he/they): someone Another branch in my system where to the National Audubon Society for a great backyard bird count absolutely fantastic. Oh, man, you'll have so many! I'm going to have to like. Cut this up because we have to move on to the to of the Webinar. But
I am so thrilled that if you all are interested in any of the ideas the Chat Transcript will be when we post the 100 Dillon Connelly (he/they): video to our Youtube page. I will include a link to the Chat Transcript. So if you want to look up any of these later to get some ideas about what other librarians are doing. You can check out that chat, chat, transcript over the video recording. Thanks so much for sharing all of your ideas. I, you all librarians. This country never ceased to amazingly D
illon Connelly (he/they): your creativity, willingness to be involved in really awesome STEM program. This is why it's so exciting to do webinars like this, and connect you all with some really cool programming and ideas. Dillon Connelly (he/they): So i'll just take them and run with it. Really really amazing. Dillon Connelly (he/they): So if this is your first exposure to the field project, i'll just give you a little bit of idea what we're doing through some very generous funding from the Gord
on and Betty Moore Foundation. The Space Science Institute has been able to start what we're calling the seal project, which is a nationwide project we're doing to get people excited for the eclipses coming up in Dillon Connelly (he/they): 2,023, and 2,023. We have an annular eclipse which means the moon will not completely cover the sun. You'll have a ring called an annulus around it, which is really really cool, and then there'll be a total eclipse next Dillon Connelly (he/they): summer, or ne
xt next spring in April. They will be also built visible for big, most of the Us. So to prepare for those we are allowing libraries across the country to apply for up to 2,000 free solar viewing glasses per application. The link to get this to get those free glasses is in the getting started with seal resource. Blog post that Claire is going to be sharing in the chat. Dillon Connelly (he/they): and once you're signed up for those glasses. You'll also be connected to our starnet community website
, which is a social media website we're using to connect librarians with Dillon Connelly (he/they): us here at SSI folks at NASA and other solar scientists as well as each other, to share ideas around eclipse programming. Dillon Connelly (he/they): So you'll be automatically registered for that. Once you register for your glasses. You'll also be signed up for the steel newsletter, which is how we're going to be sending out all the information upcoming Webinars new activities. We're developing ou
r professional development opportunities and other opportunities like applying through the globe. Observer. Kit that we're going to be talking about today. Dillon Connelly (he/they): We're also doing in-person trainings in all 50 States and 4 Territories. I think we're about 50% of the way through right now. We've got about half our in-person webinars. If you're interested in attending one of those we're organizing all of those through State Library Association. So Dillon Connelly (he/they): che
ck with your State Library for information on how you can get in on one of those in-person trainings, if you would like to. We're also providing recorded trainings and virtual workshops just like the one you all are attending right now. We also have to a. In your programming. We have some fantastic circulating kits that are going to State Library Dillon Connelly (he/they): that have things like solar telescope storybooks ready to go out of the box, hands on activities all really really fantastic
. Each State Library is handling circulation of those kits differently. There should be at least 4 kits for each State Contact your State Library. If you're interested in getting one of the those circulation kept. Dillon Connelly (he/they): we are also providing access to scientists, volunteers, equipped subject matter, experts and other library, and through our static online community, which once again that's community dot starnet libraries.org If you register for your free solar viewing glasse
s, you will be automatically signed up for that starnet community site Dillon Connelly (he/they): if somebody has already signed up for your Oh, excuse me, 30. Somebody's already signed up for glasses at your library, and you'd select to be in on the newsletter. Go ahead and reach out to me via email. I'm gonna put my email in the chat right now. Dillon Connelly (he/they): I can sell science. There we go. Go ahead and reach out to me. If you want to get on that register for the community site an
d the and on our newsletter. I will cook you up with Guy, our admin person, who is handling all those registered Dillon Connelly (he/they): Corey. We are focusing on public libraries, but I believe we have had discussions of opening up to school libraries. Go ahead, and that you have further questions about that reach out to me, and I will send that I could connect you with our admin person to answer some of those questions that Dillon Connelly (he/they): me. I don't know for doing school librar
ies just yet, but I can go ahead, and if you email me I will go ahead and direct your question to a person who can actually. properly. Dillon Connelly (he/they): So here, if you're watching at home later, or you're looking at the slide deck once we publish it later, this QR. Code will link you directly to that steel resources Blog post I was telling you about. That has all sorts of information on how to get started with registering for glasses. Dillon Connelly (he/they): setting up for a newslet
ter. There's also an FAQ Webinar that we did a few months ago with that was hosted by Annie Holland. A few other folks from the steel team. It goes much more to that. A little bit more about the full up the background, science around that eclipse that's coming up, and all the information about this here. Dillon Connelly (he/they): We also, if you are interested, we also have a link for the getting. We're doing monthly getting started with Seal Webinar from May through August. And so if you are i
nterested in more information, we'll be going more into depth at those getting started with still Webinar Webinar registering for glasses. How many registered that you can register Dillon Connelly (he/they): doing a hands on activity, demonstration, all sorts of good stuff so highly recommend, if you would like to get started with, feel to attend one of those. So now I will hand this over to Jessica. I was going to talk a little bit about the Globe Eclipse program. Dillon Connelly (he/they): So
go ahead and take it away, Jessica. Jessica Taylor: All right. Thank you so much. Thank you for having me one of the reasons i'm so excited to talk to you about this is that I've been involved in the global program since around 2,000 and a really credit that program with giving me the background and confidence in science to become a scientist at NASA. So i'm excited to share this with you. Let's go ahead to the next slide. Jessica Taylor: So what is the Globe program? So Globe is a community of
scientists. Jessica Taylor: educators, researchers, students, the community, general public system, scientists from around the world. There are over 120 countries that participate in this program. Jessica Taylor: and when I say participate is what we all agree is that we're all going to agree to collect scientific measurements of our environment in the same way. So that way our data can be compared around the world, and the program itself has been running also for over 25 years. It is sponsored
by NASA and receive support from various Federal agencies, including Noaa. Nsf. The Department of State. Jessica Taylor: and it's implemented out of you car. We have over 40,000 educators that are, that includes both formal and informal educators. Over 80,000 students participate in the program. And yes, that number is accurate. Over 240,000 community citizens and scientists around the world engage with us Jessica Taylor: next one. Jessica Taylor: So hopefully. Some of you have already downloade
d the app. The app is called Globe Observer. It's a free download for Ios or Android, and inside the app, after you create your login you'll be able to access a number of tools to help you make observations, and so we have a tool for clouds. I'm an atmospheric science that's scientists. That's the one that our team leads. There's also a tool for mosquito habitat. Jessica Taylor: which is a really an interesting tool, because not only is it helping you identify, but it's in really encouraging ste
wardship as well, and making sure that we eliminate mosquito habitat. Reading Sites Land cover is another tool, turning your phone into data collection for land cover and the tree tool helps you make observations of your trees identifying the height and circumference. These tools are always available in the app. So if you were to download the app right now, or if you already have the app, you should be able to see all of these tools available Jessica Taylor: all right, next slide. Jessica Taylor
: And the tool that we want to talk about today, though, is the eclipse tool. This is a special tool that only appears just before Jessica Taylor: an eclipse. And so i'll be talking you through something that you're not really able to see just yet, but follow along with me, because it's incorporating a number of those other observations like clouds and land cover that you could go ahead and start doing Jessica Taylor: so next. Jessica Taylor: Okay, Why do we care about this? You know the the ecl
ipse. Jessica Taylor: this amazing phenomenon? But our angle here is trying to better understand what happens to our atmosphere during this really interesting time, right? Because we get our energy from the sun. Jessica Taylor: and so changes in how much solar energy we get can cause changes to the air, temperature. Jessica Taylor: the surface temperature, clouds, maybe wind. And so we have these science questions like what's going to happen when the sun is blocked by the moon during an eclipse.
And that's the type of investigation that drives the data that you're going to see us asking to be collected next. Jessica Taylor: And you'll notice some of our images say dropped on them because it hasn't come out just yet. So in the Globe Observer app when you open it up you'll see a home screen that looks very much like this with the 4 tools that I had mentioned. And then for right before the eclipse, you'll see another tool pop up at the top that says eclipse. Jessica Taylor: And again, thi
s is encouraging us to use this to better understand how atmospheric conditions change because of this phenomenon. And this is actually a picture of me. In 2,017. I set up a station at NASA Langley. I was in a partial eclipse. Jessica Taylor: and I collected clouds and air, temperature and surface temperature during the eclipse, and I did get to see these changes myself. Go ahead. Jessica Taylor: So we're going to play this animation. and what you see here is every single one of those dots is so
meone during the 2,017 eclipse making an observation of air temperature. Jessica Taylor: and we see, as the eclipse crosses over the United States, and we see it especially kind of looking at that path of totality. We see these changes in air temperature. So people were using the app before Jessica Taylor: and after the eclipse to track those changes. This is a great thing to do. Also, if you are thinking about doing, programming and needing something to do with folks before the eclipse actually
happens. And also, if you have a cloudy day. Jessica Taylor: clouds are also really important. Go ahead to the next slide. Jessica Taylor: So we're gonna hop right? And that that slides perfect. What did we do with all that data, right? So I showed you a bunch of data from 2,017, and that Jessica Taylor: whole point of globe is to make this environmental science observations available to everyone, and so professional scientists and others can use it as well. Right so here we have pictured a col
league from mine here at NASA Langley. We work together on a paper that is published, using those globe observations to from 2,017, to see how did cloud cover impact the temperature drop that was experienced at various locations, and so that paper is available at the link there. Jessica Taylor: and we also really encourage in globe youth projects as well. And so students from around the world have also been submitting projects based off of this data. Next. Jessica Taylor: Okay. So here is a pict
ure of someone using the app. So you'll see that's what it would look like on your screen. And then these next slides. I'm going to talk you through the type of data that you'll submit. Go ahead. Jessica Taylor: So the first thing that you do is once you get into and like I said, remember that that tool for the eclipse will open right away. It's gonna open just before the eclipse itself. Jessica Taylor: So a few days before you can set up your eclipse information. And so you're gonna tell us if
you're going to take air temperature, we want to know what type of thermometer you're using. There are lots of different options for thermometers out here, and this is the one time that we'll also be allowing Fahrenheit to be entered. We typically only use the metric system, but all your data will get converted into Celsius. Jessica Taylor: and then the green button here shows you where you can activate alarms for taking measurements. So we're going to remind you during the eclipse. Jessica Tayl
or: giving you a cadence of when to make these observations, and so you can turn that on. Jessica Taylor: And then the blue button that you see there is a location there. It's really important that you make sure when you down install the app that you allow geolocation services because a lot of what we're doing is really dependent on what your latitude and longitude is. and so we'll be able to identify where you're located as long as you've made that available in the app. Jessica Taylor: and i'll
show you here on another screen that will actually be able to be tracking the path of totality for you. And when your maximum solar clips is gonna be. And then there's also a tool. The bottom button is a land cover observation, because we want to see what your surroundings are right, because what's around. You might impact the what you experience during the eclipse. Jessica Taylor: All right next. Jessica Taylor: Okay. So once you're inside the tool, you'll see a bunch of different buttons. And
so I want to draw your attention to the ones here in the centered of the screen. You're gonna see that in the app. It's going to be telling you your current time. Jessica Taylor: and then time of max time of maximum amount of your eclipse right, whether that's the annular or the total solar eclipse, so you'll be able to track and see Jessica Taylor: what time it is at your location. Once you have jail, those patient services turned on, and then that's how we're going to be able to tell you thos
e reminders of making those observations of clouds and air temperature. Jessica Taylor: And then there are a number of buttons that remind you of safety, for example, is this orange button? With the exclamation point in the triangle. Jessica Taylor: There's a gear button that's yellow that it looks like it has a a gear symbol on it that gives you some of the settings that you can change what you just did in the what we had in the previous slide. If something changes, you could go in there Jessic
a Taylor: and then there's a blue button that has these vertical like a bar graph, and that's where you can access your data Jessica Taylor: all right next. And remember, these slides are going to be made available to you, so you can come back and take a refresher on this before the eclipse happens. Jessica Taylor: So what we'll be doing is doing a countdown to your next observation. So there will be a little button that says, here's when we want you to submit your next observation, and then a b
utton that says, Enter data now, and it's as simple as that. You'll just click on it, and you'll be able to scroll to the temperature as well as enter your clouds Jessica Taylor: next. Jessica Taylor: And once you do that, you'll see that that graph icon before the blue icon that then has the vertical bar graphs. We'll get a number at the top, and that's telling you how many data points you have, and so it'll show you how much data you've collected, and that's where you'll be able to go to those
data points and edit them if you need to. Jessica Taylor: All right next. Jessica Taylor: and then when you are going through there again, the app is giving you that Jessica Taylor: that cadence, that frequency of saying your temperature. Do you want to submit a cloud observation? And so you can say yes or no if you want to submit it. Jessica Taylor: and then you'll just click the button that says start a new cloud observation. So remember clouds and land cover already exist in the app itself.
So you could be practicing how to make those observations right now, and you can use that in your programming throughout the year. It doesn't have to be just an eclipse thing when you do clouds and land cover. or any of the other globe observations. These are just a way for us to package it together specifically to answer some of those research questions around what happens in the atmosphere during an eclipse. Jessica Taylor: All right, next slide. Jessica Taylor: And what I think is the really
the coolest part of this is in the app itself. We'll be doing a graph to show you what has been happening to the air temperature in your location and these graphs. You can take a screen capture of it directly in your phone, but you can also share that on social media, and it's just a really nice way to quickly capture the data that you've been contributing as citizen scientists to this project. Jessica Taylor: All right. And I think I just have one more. Jessica Taylor: Yeah. And that is, we rea
lize that's a lot of information. And so again, these slides are going to be made available, and there's also a oh, URL that's in your list, observer.gov. Backslash eclipse, and Jessica Taylor: when you go there you'll be able to find a number of different resources related to Globe implementing the Globe program. How to use the Globe programs, app Globe, Observer and another of other hands on activity ideas for you. Theresa Schwerin: So with that i'm going to pass it off to Teresa for more info
rmation about the kits. Thank you, Jessica, and I am excited to be here because we are looking for library partners. If you could go to the next slide. Theresa Schwerin: and we have got both eclipsed library kits that we are going to distribute to up to 100 Us. Public libraries. Applications are due May 30 first, and we're targeting early June mid-june to select and start notifying libraries Theresa Schwerin: by the end of June. Let everyone know the status of their application, and then, during
mid June and July, start shipping at the kids. Theresa Schwerin: And so what our main objective is in selecting libraries is diversity of library partners diversity. Geographically, we want partners both on and off Theresa Schwerin: the path of totality or maximum eclipse Theresa Schwerin: diversity in terms of the programming and the audience that you target we're going to give priority to libraries who have clear plans to engage underserved audiences and those that are interested in and shown
an ability to deliver engaging STEM programs, steam programs. Theresa Schwerin: and an interest in citizen science. So this slide shows what's in the kit. These are resources to support your global clips programming. There are printed items, and all of those printed items are in both English and in Spanish. They're also available online to download. Theresa Schwerin: and they include a globe eclipsed card. This is a a Theresa Schwerin: handy little postcard that you can use to promote globe wit
h clips. It's got the the URL on the back a little bit of text, and it's got a hole in the middle that you can use this as a device to project Theresa Schwerin: the eclipse onto a surface, and so you get a pack of 100 of those. You'll get a pack of 100 each of the English and Spanish Globe sky windows, and this is a really simple, easy to do activity where you hold the sky window up and you can Theresa Schwerin: identify what type of cloud is in the sky. These are things to help prepare you to d
o the observations that are in the Globe Eclipse App. Theresa Schwerin: We've got a Science storybook for children called Elementary Globe Clouds edit the name of the book is, do you know that clouds have names? And there are 10 copies of both the English and Spanish version of the book Theresa Schwerin: in the Kit. Theresa Schwerin: This book also has Theresa Schwerin: really great notes for the educator. Theresa Schwerin: for the parent Theresa Schwerin: throughout the story, so you could use
it for story time. It could be something someone reads alone. Theresa Schwerin: Family read it together. really cool tool. Theresa Schwerin: And then the final thing is a digital thermometer for measuring air. It is Jessica mentioned earlier. Theresa Schwerin: There's several different kinds of thermometers that you can use, but this particular one it's a tailor, 6 day maximum minimum air, temperature, soil, temperature, border temperature, thermometer. Theresa Schwerin: so we wanted to give you
something you could use beyond the eclipse. So this is something that you could do science, investigations, weather investigations, and if you wanted to go further and get more involved in Globe, you could do further training to do the full globe air temperature protocol. Theresa Schwerin: So if you go to the next slide. Theresa Schwerin: just to walk you through eligibility public libraries in the Us. DC. Or Us. Territory can apply Theresa Schwerin: whether you're doing programming for the 202
3, or 2024, or both. It's not required that you'd be on the path of totality with the comparison data off the path of totality Theresa Schwerin: again, applications are due May thirty-first and the the QR. Code will take you to the announcement page where you can link to the application at the top of the application you need to fill out the application online. But there's a Pdf. That you can download that has all the questions. So you can gather that information Theresa Schwerin: before you do t
he the online application. But it's going to ask you questions about what audience you serve. Your prior experience of programming related to steam or to citizen science what strategies you have to engage underserved audiences and your plans for doing, programming. Theresa Schwerin: using globe clips. There's not going to be a separate application for 2,024. So if you're just planning 2,024 activities, go ahead and apply for this kit. We're going to distribute everything in 2,023. Theresa Schwer
in: You go to the next slide Theresa Schwerin: some of the expectations. We'd like folks to either you're here so you've done step one this webinar or you, or to watch your reporting on the start at Leverage Youtube. We're going to have some monthly Theresa Schwerin: check in drop in sessions during August and September. These are opportunities for us to share any new information with you Theresa Schwerin: for you to ask questions, to brainstorm ideas, to share your plans, and then to offer at l
east one program that incorporates club of clips. These could be things leading up to the eclipse to prepare patrons to participate in doing global service, citizen science. Theresa Schwerin: or they could be on the clips day, either the October fourteenth, or the April eighth eclipse, and we need you to complete Theresa Schwerin: evaluation surveys. There will be one survey after each eclipse. Theresa Schwerin: and then to join our Globe Eclipse libraries team. If you go to the next slide up, i
'll say a little bit more about that in a couple of slides the timeline is a thirty-first for applications, distributing kits late June to July. Theresa Schwerin: The check into August in September they clips it out Theresa Schwerin: October, and then we'll have the survey open until the end of October to take. If you go to the next slide in 2,024. Theresa Schwerin: We're going to start with a kickoff Webinar in January, February timeframe to share back Theresa Schwerin: the data that was collec
ted from the eclipse All the citizen science day that was collected. So you could see a cool animation of the data from Theresa Schwerin: 23 similar to the one that Jessica showed earlier for 2,017. We'll share back the results from the that first evaluation survey, and we'll invite Leverage to share examples of what they did, and reflect on their October programming, and their plans for 2,024 Theresa Schwerin: will again have month of drop in in february and March. Theresa Schwerin: April Eclip
se and then barbers will have until the end of April to complete the second evaluation survey. And then we're looking at late May early June, to have a brief thing with the library partners on the results of the club and Server eclipse. Citizen Science. You can go to the next slide. Theresa Schwerin: you know whether or not you get the kit. There benefits for all libraries with believe and participating in global clips and globe. Observer. This is as Jessica said. It's an ongoing citizen science
. Project. It doesn't end with the eclipse. You can continue to take cloud observations, land cover. Theresa Schwerin: tree, height and mosquito habitat, mapping the activities and the resources are all available online for anyone to use, and one really cool things that I wanted to mention is globe teams. You go to the next slide. This is something that anyone with Theresa Schwerin: a globe account can set up, and a team can be used to set up a competition to coordinate citizen science efforts t
o support Theresa Schwerin: a group of people who want to work together. A family could set up a Globe observer team, and you can join as many teams as you want to. We'd like you to join our Theresa Schwerin: Globe eclipse team, but we also know you'll want to set up your own teams. You can set up a main library team. You can set up teams for your branches. Your patrons can set up teams. Theresa Schwerin: They can be public or private. You just need to Theresa Schwerin: give out the referral cod
e to folks who want to join your team, and on the right there. It just shows how a scout group in Australia, how they set up a team to take observations and share observations during a 3 month Theresa Schwerin: competition. If you go to the next slide Theresa Schwerin: you can use these to track impacts from an event, you'll see all the observations that people are on your team take, so you can see whether people continue to take observations after your program. It's a way for people to take the
science home and keep a connection with your library. Theresa Schwerin: and you'll see on the right there. I have an asset, my library team that I set up a while back for one of the things we've worked on with. That's it by libraries Theresa Schwerin: libraries, and I've invite you to join my team. The link on this slide will take you through all the instruction to do that. But basically you can do it in the app. The bottom of the screen is a little gear setting button, and you scroll down to G
lobe teams where you can join a team. You can create a team or find a team Theresa Schwerin: if you go to the next slide. Theresa Schwerin: We've have libraries we've worked with, and I see some very familiar names in the chat folks here today Theresa Schwerin: there, and thanks to Los Angeles Public Library and the Sal Public Library and the Pioneer Public Library and Oklahoma, these are photos from their programs that They've done Theresa Schwerin: with children, families, youth, adults, senio
rs, you see, very traditional book displays to indoor outdoor programs Theresa Schwerin: the whole spectrum of programming. So if you go to the next slide, and I know Have it. I'm going to speed it up a little bit, because i'm beating it to your time. We've got several examples of steam activities that you can use to support your library programs, these 3 in particular one where Theresa Schwerin: you practice the things that you will be doing when you're doing global clips. Estimate Cloud clever
activity that's creating a simple model with blue and white construction paper. There's a video Demo. Theresa Schwerin: by Jessica on a former Starnet Webinar on how to do that activity and want to do that activity, create a cloudscape activity? Where you can Theresa Schwerin: create a bol-sized mural at your library? Or an individual can can create a paper-size mural individual mural, and our friends at starnet Theresa Schwerin: libraries created a guide with lots of adaptations for using this
in the library, and then the final one there I'm going to mention is to do the Cloud dance. So Theresa Schwerin: our NASA scientists matter like to learn. Brooklyn and her 2 daughters demonstrate the cloud dance, and how you can work with kinesthetic learners to Theresa Schwerin: learn about the different types of clouds, what their names are, and to remember what they look like. Theresa Schwerin: So if we go to the next slide. Theresa Schwerin: i'll do to wrap up just by saying, If you go into
the American Library Association Conference come by our session on Cloud watching for NASA. That's going to be on that Monday, June 26, and we'll be presenting that Theresa Schwerin: Jessica and I with Vivian Bird, from Los Angeles Public Library, and come by the National, Exhibit lots of us from from Theresa Schwerin: from Starnet and at my library. Jessica and I will be there, off and on throughout the conference. and I think that may be the last one. Theresa Schwerin: Yes, so i'm going to ha
nd it off to Kevin. Kevin Czajkowski: Thanks, Teresa. Kevin Czajkowski: All right. So i'm going to talk about going further. What you could do, you know, if you're having a program at your library for the solar eclipses. Kevin Czajkowski: you can do the surface temperature part, and so a next slide. Kevin Czajkowski: So here's some like an outline of what we're looking at. University, Toledo would provide you with a infrared thermometer. We're looking at a total of 25 libraries to sign up. Kevin
Czajkowski: and it's it's the same sign up as Teresa was talking about. So you use the link. When you sign up you can opt into the service temperature observations. Kevin Czajkowski: There will be a little extra training. I'll probably organize about 45 min to an hour Kevin Czajkowski: training to do the service temperature. Then you'll become actually a globe train person with Teresa and Jessica talked about the globe. Observer. App. That's for Cis and sinus, and anybody can do it. But there's
also a part of globe that's for educators. Kevin Czajkowski: and that includes the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and hemisphere. and those parts need a lot for training. So that's what we would do. So you go to the next slide. Kevin Czajkowski: and I wanted to show you some pictures from the 2,017 solar clips when people were taking service, i'm sure observations, in addition to the cloud and air temperature that we already talked about. Kevin Czajkowski: and we can go to the next slide.
Kevin Czajkowski: And why do we talk about, or why do we want to take a service up for observations, and the reason I want to do that is, it's at the heart of the energy budget. Kevin Czajkowski: Of course the sun is providing the energy for the earth. So the sunlight's coming through it heats the surface, and then the energy at the surface goes into evaporating of water transparent through plants. Some goes into heating air. That's a sensible heat. Kevin Czajkowski: and then some of the energy
is emitted back to space as long way radiation. And that's the type of energy that's absorbed by greenhouse gases and contributed to climate change and global warming. Kevin Czajkowski: So that's why service temperature is such a an important variable, and it really adds into our understanding of the earth, and how the solar eclipse will affect the temperature and our environment. Kevin Czajkowski: So we go to the next slide. Kevin Czajkowski: This shows you how to use your in front thermometer.
Kevin Czajkowski: and we went patrons. Put the arm out, arm's length, push the button like, go the button, and look at the value. We'll send you out to Kit, and then we'll have places to put your values for person to do it, and i'll have it a time just like with the Globe Observer. Kevin Czajkowski: And Kevin Czajkowski: oh, just now many people have in Fred thermometers, so you you know i'll send you one, but you might want to have more, because there are some around from the pandemic. Of cour
se Kevin Czajkowski: we can go to the next slide. Kevin Czajkowski: and this is some of the data from the 2,017 solar clips, and and Jessica showed this already. You see the air temperature on the left and the clouds on the right. The service temperature we took is in the middle, and you see there's a lot less sites, of course, because you have to have that training as an educator. Kevin Czajkowski: We had a lot of slates. We sent kits out to people who are going to be on totality, and then we h
ad our schools that were in Ohio and Michigan. But this time we want to get a broader spectrum of of locations off totality as well on totality and off totality. Kevin Czajkowski: So that's why we're working with you. It'd be great and very helpful. Oh, and you'd see our reference here to Ramen at all. 2,019. We published this information. Kevin Czajkowski: I I just like Jessica mentioned Kevin Czajkowski: their publication as well. so we can go to the next slide. Kevin Czajkowski: And here's so
me of the data service temperature is the green line on top air temperatures the red line. You can see how service temperature dropped about 9°C in this location in Nebraska. Kevin Czajkowski: and then air temperature only dropped about 3. So you see this dramatic change in service temperature, and then it rebounds after totality, and it, or after the maximum eclipse, and when the sun comes back and then but there's also a like the service. Temperature goes down first and then starts going up. K
evin Czajkowski: But the air temperature continues to go down. So these are some of the interesting things where we can learn from taking this these observations, and also there's an impact on clouds which is really interesting. Kevin Czajkowski: All right. Next slide Kevin Czajkowski: students have done projects Kevin Czajkowski: using this data, and through globe students do projects and present projects, and Dylan had mentioned that some libraries do projects. I don't know if you wanted to ad
d to that or not Kevin Czajkowski: for the eclipse, or just in general, I think you were mentioning that because this could facilitate projects at libraries. Dillon Connelly (he/they): Oh, yeah, I was just saying, this is some of these projects. If you've got like a team, STEM club or twin STEM club. Using these data sets is a great way to like explore data analysis. So you can do the data collection as well as do some programming with. If you got a STEM club, or even an adult Dillon Connelly (h
e/they): enthusiasts, you can do the whole process and start to finish. There's a good programming idea. Kevin Czajkowski: Yeah, thank you. There we go the next slide. Kevin Czajkowski: And this is a Kevin Czajkowski: an activity doing surface temperature that was developed, not for the solar eclipse, but can be used at other times, and just get shared this so you could use this as well, and it's part of the star net resources. Kevin Czajkowski: I could mention that the same these same observati
ons we're doing for the solar clips Kevin Czajkowski: are used also for urban Heat Island studies. So there are many communities studying urban he islands to address how neighborhoods might be warmer than others, and how we can address that. Maybe we planting trees so that there's more you can do with these observations before and after the solar eclipse. Kevin Czajkowski: And then I think the last slide is just my contact. Our contact information for this group. You want to thank everybody look
ing forward to doing this Dillon Connelly (he/they): right? Excellent! So, thanks to Theresa, Jessica and Kevin for sharing all that great information to Dillon Connelly (he/they): about Globe Observer, and how to get started with these kits and be doing some really cool observations and data collection with Globe observer before after and during the eclipse really really excited that we get to share all this and we. Dillon Connelly (he/they): So now we've got about 14 min left in the Webinar. I
think that's just enough time to open up the floor. And have you all ask any questions you might have about any Dillon Connelly (he/they): of the information we've covered today, or Dillon Connelly (he/they): anything like that. So? Nicole asked in the chat. Will these slides and presentation be sent to the attendees? We're not going to be sending them out individually? But we will be posting a Pdf. Of the slides beneath the recording of the Webinar as well as on the webinar page on Starnet's w
ebsite. You can go ahead and check out those. Dillon Connelly (he/they): If you are looking to get these, live there, you can also. I highly recommend part of the reason we're recording this Webinar is, we know that the eclipse app is not going to be available via Globe Observer until the eclipses. So be sure to be. I'll be posting this Dillon Connelly (he/they): Webinar, recording by the end of day tomorrow to the starnet Youtube Channel. Go ahead and subscribe to our channel a. You got tons of
. You'll get access to all of our recorded webinars, how to videos all that good stuff. But you'll also be Dillon Connelly (he/they): able to refer back to this webinar if you want to prep for the Dillon Connelly (he/they): the Star net link again. So let me go ahead and actually let me stop my screen share. I'll go ahead and get our Youtube for. Yeah. Theresa Schwerin: And while you're doing that one question that was in the chat, someone asked, do you use the same application form for the Glob
e Eclipse Library, kit as well as the infrared thermometer, and the answer is, Yes, you can use it for both. Dillon Connelly (he/they): all right, and there is the link to our Youtube channel is at starnet libraries Dillon Connelly (he/they): mit Ctl. And so, Jonas, that's the application for equip script presented by Tri. It says, okay. So that question has been covered. How long does it take to get a confirmation when you apply for the solar glasses? I put in the application for a month ago an
d worried it didn't go through if you completed your application, including a letter from someone in your administration. 200 and Dillon Connelly (he/they): that that said they're aware of your application, and they're approving your application. You should have gotten a confirmation email when when you finished your registration. If not, if you would like more information, i'm gonna go ahead, and Guy is always so happy when I do that Dillon Connelly (he/they): i'm going to put a sky read Mill.
They're our admin person. They are handling all of our registrations that a email address Dillon Connelly (he/they): right there, as you know, with bas Science Org, you can reach out to Sky Dillon Connelly (he/they): and ask them about connecting, checking on your registration, making sure that's complete. Dillon Connelly (he/they): Let's see, as always, all of the links we covered today are in the getting started with steel resource. Blog curve that Claire has put in the chat. Make sure to book
mark that that's kind of a living blog post Dillon Connelly (he/they): as we do More webinars develop more resources. We're adding links to that all the time so highly recommend bookmarking that page I've updated with at least, I think, 7 or 8 new links just in the past week alone. So there is Dillon Connelly (he/they): some great information there, Barbara, said. I'm not able to attend our State eclipse training in Vermont. Is there information available from another training. We are covering a
lot of the information from the in-person trainings in our virtual trainings, like our getting started with seal virtual webinars. Dillon Connelly (he/they): highly recommend attend a registering and attending one of those. We also, if the times available don't work for those we do have a recorded version of that getting started with seal webinar that is linked in the getting started with deal blog posts. Dillon Connelly (he/they): and is on our Youtube channel. So I highly if you can't make it
to the in-person ones or any of our schedule getting started with deal virtual webinars. There is that recorded version available on youtube Theresa Schwerin: mit ctl, and is there a list of globe-related library programs. That have already been done as an inspiration, and that's actually probably a great question, for Theresa May and Kevin. Yes, and in fact, I had a link to that in my slide, but I heard from 150 Theresa Schwerin: by person who was putting the site up. He didn't quite have it u
p, so that link will be in the link of links, the link of links that Dylan will be Theresa Schwerin: hosting. We've got several examples of library programs, how they put material different materials together to do different kinds of programs. So that should be up, if not later today, then definitely by tomorrow. Theresa Schwerin: and we'll keep adding to that as you start Theresa Schwerin: developing your plans for your programs, we hope to incorporate some of those into what we have on the web
site. Dillon Connelly (he/they): Absolutely. Yeah. Any links that aren't currently on there will definitely be up by the end of the day today. So go ahead and bookmark that page and check back. We will have all those links with tons of information on there. Also, if you are interested, I highly recommend checking out the STEM activity, clearing. How Dillon Connelly (he/they): we have. We've mentioned these in our previous Webinars highly recommend checking out the programming for the with citize
n Science for the Eclipse Webinars, which are also on our Youtube page. We do have a step by step on how to find a resources on the STEM activity, Clearinghouse Dillon Connelly (he/they): mit ctl, and we actually have at least one or 2 activities about Globe observer on the STEM Activity Clearinghouse, that they have things like preparation and facilitation. Guys adaptations about how to turn these into, take and make kits or virtual programming a lot of good resources. For if you're looking for
programming inspiration, one Dillon Connelly (he/they): on the STEM Activity Clearinghouse, which is clearinghouse, starnet library. Dillon Connelly (he/they): Dot Org, Christine the. We will not be emailing out an email this recording, but it will be available by the end of day tomorrow on our Youtube page. youtube.com slash at Starnet Libraries Dillon Connelly (he/they): case. We have not developed a certificate for these webinars for Pd. If that's something you're interested in. I think we c
ould probably come up with something. Go ahead and reach out to me. My email is I'll put it in the chat again Dillon Connelly (he/they): at Space Science Org and I will look into getting you some sort of confirmation of your attendance. Dillon Connelly (he/they): Oh, Claire is also said. In addition to our Youtube Page. We also, if you happen to register for this Webinar any of our webinars Dillon Connelly (he/they): through starnet's, Webinar hub on our website, we also in and for each page tha
t we announce those on those Webinars on. We post both the recording of the Webinar as well as the Pdf. Of the slides and the Chat Transcript. Dillon Connelly (he/they): We post all of that to the Webinar page that we have there for registration on our website as well. So you can check out that Claire has provided a link to that Webinars page or Archive Webinar Dillon Connelly (he/they): in the chat. Theresa Schwerin: and Theresa Schwerin: I think someone asked what the referral code was to join
that asset my library blue team, and Theresa Schwerin: I will. It's on the slide. But I will find that and put it in the chat. Dillon Connelly (he/they): Oh, and Kevin, I just want to highlight that he, Kevin, just put this in the chat. The Globe Observer. I know that we've had a lot of people put in the chat. I actually checked it out myself. I just upgraded to a pixel 7, and it looks like my version of Android is too too new for a Globe observer app tech people to say they're working on the d
ownload problem. Dillon Connelly (he/they): getting that updated so that the it will work for the latest versions android. So I will keep checking on that, and I will be sure to I to to to note, and I will post to our cernic community website when it looks like that. Jessica Taylor: Yeah. And, Dylan, if I could just add those of you who have sent me your contacts, I will send you an email when it gets updated, but as Kevin mentioned Jessica Taylor: the it, folks are probably feverishly working o
n it right now that we told them Jessica Taylor: so. Thank you and those of you who set your your phone type and everything that's also helpful, so they can make sure to adjust for all. Dillon Connelly (he/they): And, Kim, I just saw that you asked this question that will all the links in the chat be saved as well? Yes, we post Dillon Connelly (he/they): t transcript along with the the recording of the Webinar and the slides, so they would. That Chat transcript which will include all the links t
hat we put in the chat today will be available on in the video description on the Youtube page Once we post this Dillon Connelly (he/they): Webinar by the end of day tomorrow, and will be included on the Archive Webinar page that Claire shared out early. so you'd be able to access that chat, chat, transcript, and all the link Dillon Connelly (he/they): through there. Also. All of the links that we have been sharing out today are also available on the getting started with seal blog posts. There.
I'm. Going to actually throw that in the chat one more time. And so please bookmark, this page. This includes the links, all for all the links we've covered in the Webinar today, as well as all the links from all of our seal virtual training. Dillon Connelly (he/they): serious Webinars. Both are getting started with Seal Webinar and our previous citizen science, Webinars, about getting started with citizen science programming with citizen science, and we also have an additional Webinar on the si
xteenth with another fantastic citizen science project called Eclipse down Schemes. Dillon Connelly (he/they): and we will be posting all the links from that Webinar as well. So everything you need that we've covered in our virtual trainings are going to be available like getting started with Zoom. Dillon Connelly (he/they): Kim: I so i'm sorry you missed the beginning. We will not be sending out emails. There's a lot of registrants for for these webinars, but I highly recommend getting register
ed for our glasses you can reach, and signing up for our fuel newsletter. Dillon Connelly (he/they): If you want to reach out and bring my email in the chat. If you want to get signed up for our newsletter, where we will be sharing all of the feel relevant information, including stuff from the citizen science, webinars, and upcoming resources like professional training, professional development trainings coming up opportunities for Dillon Connelly (he/they): Tip. Another other fantastic thing we
can get you hooked up with that newsletter, so you can keep abreast with all things here Dillon Connelly (he/they): sharing, if you can actually just reach out to me via email J. I I I I I I I You could reach out to one of the the connelling of Facebook, or I can direct you to how to get to registered for that newsletter. So send me an email, and i'll forward that your your information onto who needs to get you signed up there. Dillon Connelly (he/they): We got just a few more minutes. The refe
rral code to that referral code was to get started with the NASA, my library Globe Observer team. Correct. There is that Theresa Schwerin: that's correct. Theresa Schwerin: So when you go into the settings on the app. Press a little gear button in the bottom Theresa Schwerin: right hand corner and scroll down, and you pick. Join the team and put that referral code in, and you'll be. You'll show up when you take observations on our NASA. My library team Dillon Connelly (he/they): and I also highl
y recommend checking out our Youtube channel. We have a playlist of all of our seal virtual trainings that we've done so far you can check out all of those. All of our Webinars are about an hour. However, we do break them down by a subject and theme in chapters 150 Dillon Connelly (he/they): on our Youtube Channel, so you can easily come back to them and watch. You know one part of it during a lunch break or or in between storing hours. I know we're getting into summer reading time. So y'all are
super super busy, but so we we do try and make that convenient. So all of our webinars, if you ever need to refer back to this. Dillon Connelly (he/they): Okay, all of those Webinars are on our Youtube Channel with those timestamp descriptions for you to review all this information for the first time, or to to catch up if you want to review anything we've covered. Dillon Connelly (he/they): Jim, I think you're asking about the Youtube Channel. I put the link in the chat, but then it the link to
the that Youtube Channel is also on the getting started with Feel resource. Blog posts that we've been using is a link bank that Claire has been sending out throughout the chat. That link is all through in the Dillon Connelly (he/they): All right. Well, we are just about at the end of the hour. I am always in awe of how well we time these. I'm always worried. We're going to go over, and then it's always just by a hair. We're getting in under the wire. Dillon Connelly (he/they): So I really appr
eciate all of you all the time today. Really fantastic attendance today. I could not be thrilled. You all have some fantastic questions. I want to thank Claire for her help with chat support. Teresa, Kevin and Jessica. Thanks so much for joining us and sharing on all this information Dillon Connelly (he/they): about the Globe Observer program could not be more thrilled to share this information route with our our starnet librarian through seal really really excited to help people connect through
the eclipse and and participate in such an amazing project. Dillon Connelly (he/they): So thanks everyone for attending today. I hope you have a fantastic rest of your day rest of your week, and an amazing weekend enjoy Star Wars day. May the Fourth be with you? I know I'm going to be checking out the new season of Star Wars visions after work today. I'm: very excited. So yeah, this is the may indeed. Dillon Connelly (he/they): So thanks so much for attending everyone a fantastic Webinar. I hop
e you have a great rest of your day, and have a good one.
