During LSST Construction: Communications and EPO are separate Communications Team EPO Team

Communications Mission To facilitate communications between LSST and its stakeholders keeping them informed on construction progress, science opportunities, and other essential Project information. Responsibilities: • Writing and distributing news updates • Disseminating project-wide announcements • Addressing media inquiries • Updating existing website text & graphics • LSST Branding • Supporting confrences, town halls, reviews • Maintaining @LSST on social media communications-team@lists.lsst.org

As we ramp up to Operations, Communications becomes part of EPO MEETING NAME - DATE - LOCATION

EPO Mission We provide worldwide access to, and context for, LSST data through accessible and engaging online experiences so anyone can explore the universe and be part of the discovery process. Photo: Gianluca Lombardi (Gemini) 6

During Construction, EPO will build: • F ormal education program based on online notebooks • W ebsite and materials in English and Spanish • Repository of multimedia resources • Interactive Skyviewer • Cloud-based EPO Data Center • Capability to build citizen science projects • Communications and Marketing Plans for Operations • Strategy for measuring success

Audiences for LSST EPO • Formal educators at advanced middle school, high school, college level • Citizen science principal investigators • Content developers at science centers and planetariums • Science-interested teens and adults (“General Public”)

Formal Education Online notebooks • Accessible through a website • No special software required • No downloading data • Embedded tools for data interaction • Customizable 9

Formal Education Online notebook development 11

Multimedia Gallery LSST EPO will produce video clips, images, and 3D models to be used throughout the Operations website. Assets will also be provided in formats that support emerging industry standards (IMERSA Dome Maser, AVM, Data2Dome) to enable content creators at informal science centers to freely incorporate them as they deem best. https://gallery.lsst.org

The viewport highlights • Curated objects objects within highlighted the current skyviewer to suggest options • Links to for user recommended features Skyviewer as a Self-Guided Educational Tool “I saw a lot of information about something that is so intangible” “An exploratory site where you get to just delve into what the telescope sees” 13

The website will be mobile friendly and features will be shareable.

Citizen Science People-Powered Research Public volunteers help make science happen by contributing to real research projects Citizen science can be a research tool enabling more science with LSST LSST EPO will enable researchers to initiate Citizen science projects using any LSST data

Citizen Science SpaceWarps.org exists now using HSC (LSST-like) data LSST EPO has partnered with Zooniverse to maximize flexibility in the types of projects that can be created by LSST citizen science principal investigators. Lead by Aprajita Verma (Oxford)

Citizen Science Any researcher can build a citizen science project with LSST data YOU: can let us know what projects you might like to build so we are prepared. English and Spanish

Viva Chile! Spanish language LSST EPO offers something unique to Chile - online educational activities allow us to reach people anywhere in the country (and the world!) AURA EPO efforts are excellent, and currently focus on the region of Coquimbo Chi-chi-chi le-le-le! 18

Spanish language I n Chile, only 9.5% of the population can have a conversation in English EPO will provide all materials in both English and Spanish Our program considers the needs of both the US and the Chilean communities from the design More than just a translation! http://estudios.anda.cl/recursos/censo_2012.pdf 19

Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility We are engaging with diverse learners and those traditionally underrepresented in STEM to ensure deliverables remain relevant, accessible, interesting, and engaging to broad audiences.

User Testing So far 168 people from 27 US states, Chile, and the UK have shared feedback and insights on EPO program plans and prototype deliverables. EPO recruited for diverse individuals and viewpoints to take part in evaluation and prototype testing sessions.

Engaging with the LSST Science Community Opportunities for EPO and LSST Science Community members to work together! • Writing articles about your favorite science topic • Implementing pre-cursor data into EPO Data Center • Contributing object selection algorithms • Developing interactive visualizations • Working with Education Team on Professional Development • Prototyping citizen science projects • Stopping by StoryTime Domain booth THIS WEEK!
