The WGBH Education Department is developing educator resources for the series Design Squad Nation, focused on NASA’s Year of the Solar Syste. These resources will include an educators guide, with related hands-on activities, how-to videos, scientist and engineer profile videos, and an online tutorial. Focus groups were held online, as part of an information gathering exercise on how WGBH could make these resources the best they could be. A summary of the feedback from the focus groups will be available soon. The new resources follow two collaborations between Design Squad and NASA: The On the Moon Educator’s Guide (http://to.pbs.org/NN7i4E), and a self-guided training on how to lead hands-on activities with kids (http://to.pbs.org/MpEArb).
