Who it subcontracts to
UNDER THIS SUBAWARD, THE CHILDREN'S CREATIVITY MUSEUM WILL: " DESIGN, DEVELOP, AND TEST A NEW SOLAR SYSTEM-THEMED APP FOR THE DIY SCIENCE SERIES CURRENTLY ON THE APP STORE FROM THE LAWRENCE HALL OF SCIENCE (LHS). APP WILL BE CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CONSULTANTS AND MUSEUMS ON THE PROJECT, WITH INPUT FROM EXTERNAL ADVISORS. WORK INCLUDES MANAGING THE APP DEVELOPER, GRAPHIC DESIGNER, SPANISH TRANSLATOR, AND LHS IT STAFF TOWARDS THE APP"S FINAL PRODUCTION AND PUBLICATION. APP WILL FEATURE EXISTING AND NEW HANDS-ON STEM ACTIVITIES AND A SOLAR SYSTEM-WALK INTERACTIVE SHOWCASING NASA HUMAN EXPLORATION AND RELATED SCIENCE CONTENT, TARGETED FOR FAMILY AUDIENCES. AN UPGRADE FROM PREVIOUS DIY SCIENCE APPS, THE NEW APP WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH BOTH IOS AND ANDROID DEVICES. " WORK WITH SCIENCENTER AND SCIENCE MUSEUM OF MINNESOTA TO DEVELOP, PROTOTYPE, AND EVALUATE 2 TO 4 HANDS-ON STEM ACTIVITIES AND CORRESPONDING EDUCATOR GUIDES FOR THE NEW PHYSICAL TOOLKIT TO BE SENT TO 350 NISE NETWORK PARTNER MUSEUMS. ACTIVITIES WILL BE ADAPTED FROM EXITING NASA STEM ENGAGEMENT RESOURCES IDENTIFIED BY PROJECT STAFF. " ASSIST MUSEUM OF LIFE AND SCIENCE AND SCIENCENTER ON THE SCRIPTING, SHOOTING, AND MEDIA ADDITIONS FOR ALL TRAINING VIDEOS TO SUPPORT TOOLKIT ACTIVITY. " MANAGE STEM CONTENT REVIEW OF ALL PRODUCT DELIVERABLES WITH PROJECT ADVISORS IN ADDITION TO SELECTED NASA SCIENCE ACTIVATION PARTNERS. " SUPPORT THE SCIENCE MUSEUM OF MINNESOTA AND SCIENCENTER IN SHARING AND PROMOTING PROJECT MATERIALS ON THE NISENET.ORG WEBSITE, THE NISE NETWORK NEWSLETTER & SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS, PROFESSIONAL CONFERENCE PRESENTATIONS, AND THROUGH ONLINE WORKSHOPS. " RESPOND TO FEEDBACK FROM THE PROJECT EVALUATORS AND ADVISORS WHEN APPROPRIATE. " PARTICIPATE IN PROJECT LEADERSHIP AND WORKGROUP MEETINGS WHEN APPROPRIATE AND ASSIST WITH PROJECT REPORTING TO NASA.
"THE SCIENCE MUSEUM OF MINNESOTA WILL LEAD THE PROJECT EVALUATION, INCLUDING ALL FORMATIVE AND SUMMATIVE EVALUATION. SMM"S EVALUATION TEAM WILL BE COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT FROM PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND WILL NOT BE INVOLVED IN ANY OTHER ASPECTS OF THE PROJECT OUTSIDE OF EVALUATION. THIS INCLUDES COORDINATING EVALUATION OF: 1) TOOLKIT OF HANDS-ON STEM ACTIVITIES " PERFORMING FORMATIVE AND SUMMATIVE EVALUATION OF THE VOYAGE THROUGH THE SOLAR SYSTEM TOOLKIT DESIGN FOR MUSEUM AUDIENCES. THIS INCLUDES, PARTICIPATING IN TEAM MEETINGS AND COMMUNICATION, ASSEMBLING KIT MATERIALS, TRAINING FLOOR FACILITATORS, AND CONDUCTING EVALUATION TESTING AT SMM AS WELL AS WORKING WITH THE TEAM TO COLLECT FINAL SUMMATIVE EVALUATION AND REPORTING DATA ABOUT NETWORK PARTNER USE OF THE KIT MATERIALS. AND 2) DIY MOBILE APP " SUPPORTING THE PROJECT TEAM IN IMPLEMENTING TEAM BASED INQUIRY (TBI) PROTOTYPING OF THE DIY APP ACTIVITIES AT PARTNER MUSEUM LOCATIONS. CONDUCTING A FORMATIVE EVALUATION OF THE PROTOTYPE DIY APP THOUGH FAMILY FOCUS GROUPS IN COORDINATION WITH THE PROJECT TEAM, AND COMPLETING SUMMATIVE EVALUATION OF THE FINAL APP."
ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY WILL SUPPORT NASA AWARD 80NSSC21M0082 BY ASSISTING IN PARTNER COMMUNICATION, RECRUITMENT, AND SELECTION FOR THE 350 KITS AWARDED TO NISE NETWORK PARTNERS. THEY WILL ALSO ASSIST IN ACTIVITY DEVELOPMENT THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN TEAM DEVELOPMENT MEETINGS, ASSIST WITH TRAINING VIDEO SCRIPTWRITING, AND SERVE IN AN ADVISORY ROLE FOR THE PROJECT TEAM TO COORDINATE THE PROJECT DESTINATION MOON ACTIVITIES WITH OVERALL NISE NETWORK WORK. ASU PERSONNEL WILL TRAVEL TO INDUSTRY CONFERENCES TO REPRESENT THE NISE NETWORK AND ASSIST IN PARTNER COMMUNICATION AND RECRUITMENT AS PART OF THIS PROJECT.

| 80NSSC21M0082 | THE SCIENCENTER IN COLLABORATION WITH THE SCIENCE MUSEUM OF MINNESOTA (SMM) THE CHILDREN S CREATIVITY MUSEUM (CCM) AND OTHER PARTNERS IN THE NATIONAL INFORMAL STEM EDUCATION (NISE) NETWORK PROPOSES EXPLORE SCIENCE: DESTINATION MOON. THE PROJECT TEAM WILL CREATE A NEW TOOLKIT OF HANDS-ON STEM (SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY ENGINEERING AND MATH) ACTIVITIES BASED ON NASA'S CONTINUING PURSUIT OF HUMAN EXPLORATION OF THE MOON AND A MOBILE APP THAT STARTS AT THE MOON AND LAUNCHES USERS TOWARDS MARS AND FARTHER OUT IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM EXTENDING LEARNING BEYOND MUSEUM WALLS. EXPANDING ON THE SUCCESSFUL EXPLORE SCIENCE SERIES FROM THE NISE NETWORK THE TOOLKIT WILL BE DISTRIBUTED TO 350 NISE NETWORK PARTNER SCIENCE CENTERS CHILDREN S MUSEUMS AND PLANETARIUMS. THE TOOLKIT WILL FEATURE UNIQUE NASA ASSETS AND CONTENT FOR MUSEUM VISITORS AND INFORMAL EDUCATORS WHILE THE APP WILL BRIDGE STEM ENGAGEMENT IN MUSEUMS TO LEARNING EXPERIENCES AT HOME THROUGH INTERACTIVE ACTIVITY GUIDES AND CUSTOMIZED CONNECTIONS TO NASA VISUALIZATIONS AND MISSION DATA FOR FAMILIES AND YOUTH IN GRADES 4-8. THIS PROJECT WILL REACH AN ESTIMATED 2.1 MILLION PEOPLE OVER THREE YEARS THROUGH A NATIONAL NETWORK ACTIVELY ENGAGING UNDERSERVED AND UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS AND WILL INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION OF AMERICAN EXPLORERS THROUGH NASA S PUSH TO EXPAND THE BOUNDARIES OF HUMAN PRESENCE IN SPACE. BY LEVERAGING NASA PEOPLE AND RESOURCES OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM EXPLORATION RESEARCH VIRTUAL INSTITUTE AT NASA AMES RESEARCH CENTER THE SCIENTIFIC VISUALIZATION STUDIO AT NASA GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER AND COLLABORATORS WITHIN NASA HUMAN EXPLORATION AND OPERATIONS MISSION DIRECTORATE (HEOMD) AND SPACE AND TECHNOLOGY MISSION DIRECTORATE (STMD) THE PROJECT WILL INCORPORATE CONTENT VISUALIZATIONS AND OTHER UNIQUE NASA ASSETS THAT WILL SERVE TO HIGHLIGHT NEW SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IN SUPPORT OF HUMAN SPACE EXPLORATION. THE PROJECT HAS TARGET TWO AUDIENCES: 1) YOUTH AND THEIR FAMILIES ESPECIALLY STUDENTS IN GRADES 4-8 AND 2) MUSEUM EDUCATORS. THE PROJECT OBJECTIVES ARE TO: . PROVIDE ACCESS FOR YOUTH AND FAMILIES TO HIGH-QUALITY STEM EDUCATION RESOURCES WITH POWERFUL CONNECTIONS TO NASA THAT WILL INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION OF EXPLORERS. . ENGAGE MUSEUMS AS STRATEGIC PARTNERS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES AND TO STRENGTHEN STEM ECOSYSTEMS TO INCREASE THE IMPACT OF NASA STEM ENGAGEMENT INVESTMENTS. . ENGAGE GROUPS HISTORICALLY UNDERREPRESENTED AND UNDERSERVED IN STEM FIELDS THROUGH LOCAL MUSEUMS SUPPORTED BY A NATIONAL NETWORK OF INFORMAL EDUCATION ORGANIZATIONS. DESTINATION MOON WILL USE EVIDENCE-BASED DESIGN STRATEGIES TO REACH DIVERSE PUBLIC AUDIENCES AT 350 PARTNER MUSEUMS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY BY DEVELOPING DISSEMINATING AND EVALUATING A TOOLKIT OF INQUIRY-BASED HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES FOR MUSEUM EDUCATORS AND A NEW DIY APP. THE OUTCOMES FOR THE PROJECT S TARGET AUDIENCES ARE: YOUTH AND FAMILIES STUDENTS IN GRADES 4-8: . INCREASED KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF SPACE EXPLORATION SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING. . BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF MAJOR ACTIVITIES AND MISSIONS WITHIN NASA HEOMD AND STMD. . INCREASED STEM LITERACY AND ENGAGEMENT WITH NASA-UNIQUE CONTENT MUSEUM EDUCATORS . INCREASED CAPACITY TO PROVIDE EFFECTIVE STEM ENGAGEMENT WITH NASA-UNIQUE CONTENT THAT CAN BE TAILORED TO MULTIPLE AND DIVERSE AUDIENCES. . INCREASED CAPACITY TO SUPPORT LEARNING THAT EXTENDS BEYOND THE MUSEUM VISIT. DESTINATION MOON WILL INCREASE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF SPACE EXPLORATION BY CONNECTING TO CURRENT NASA HEOMD AND STMD ACTIVITIES AND MISSIONS WHILE BUILDING STEM LITERACY AND ENGAGEMENT AMONG THE PUBLIC SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO NASA S STRATEGIC GOAL TO EXTEND HUMAN PRESENCE DEEPER INTO SPACE AND TO THE MOON FOR SUSTAINABLE LONG-TERM EXPLORATION AND UTILIZATION. | 2021-01-29 → 2025-01-28 | $998K |
