Public
NSF NCAR Education, Engagement & Early-Career Development's (EdEC) community engagement ensures that NSF NCAR’s research remains known, relevant, and engaging.
EdEC works with and in communities to host several events to enhance understanding of NSF NCAR research, demonstrate its value, and forge connections with educators, community organizations, and research institutions to inspire future generations of STEM researchers.
We welcome visitors to visit our research centers or attend our NSF NCAR Explorer Series to hear about the latest findings directly from our world-renowned researchers. NSF NCAR EdEC also features a Traveling Exhibit on Earth system science that can be hosted by schools, museums, and libraries. You can also find us "in the field" alongside our researchers at community engagement events like aircraft open houses and school visits.
