| This link to the Smithsonian Learning Lab at Harvard has created a reference center about female astronomers such as Annie Jump Cannon and Henrietta Swan Leavitt. As part of the group of women known as the Harvard Computers, they cataloged stars and made great contributions to the field of astronomy. At the library, we are planning on curating these digital collections with resources from our own materials, such as the notebooks created by these women. | Click here |
| NASA eClips™ Resources support standards-based instruction by increasing STEM literacy in formal and nonformal settings. The free video segments inform and engage students, through NASA-inspired, real world connections. Three NASA eClips programs are tailored to meet the needs of students in grades 3-12. In addition, a student-produced resource has joined the NASA eClips library. |
