Greetings from NASA Ames Research Center in California..

My name is Daniella Scalice.  I am the Education and Public Outreach =
Coordinator for the NASA Astrobiology Institute, and I'm co-leading an =
informal education project with the Navajo Nation.  A joint NASA and =
Navajo working group has been creating astrobiology/astronomy materials =
which highlight both NASA research and Navajo traditional teachings.  =
The content theme is "Our Star" which translates into (from the NASA =
side) the stellar life cycle and organic material in space - or, Sagan's =
"we are made of star stuff."

We're getting ready to present our newly developed materials to =
educators and community members working on the Navajo Reservation - we =
have a short video and 6 hands-on activities designed for families =
learning together in a "Community Night Event" setting.  Participants in =
our upcoming workshop in February will take home prototype materials and =
hopefully implement them in their communities, effecting a field test =
(we have an evaluator who will attend).  We'll use the field test data =
to make final adjustments, and deliver completed "Community Night Kits" =
to interested Reservation communities and educators - probably in the =
Spring.

I'm very aware and supportive of the Night Sky Network, and wanted to =
reach out to clubs local to the Reservation.  We'd be thrilled if club =
leaders and/or members were interested in attending our workshop in =
February to become familiar with our materials and perhaps implement =
them as part of future, potentially Navajo-themed star parties? =20

Please see the attached invitation, which includes a registration form =
and working agenda.  Participation for both days of the workshop - =
February 7th and 8th - would be ideal.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Very Sincerely Yours,

Daniella.
