Abstract
The Sonoma State University (SSU) Education and Public Outreach (E/PO) group
leads the Swift Education and Public Outreach program. For Swift, we have
previously implemented broad efforts that have contributed to NASA's Science
Mission Directorate E/PO portfolio across many outcome areas. Our current focus
is on highly-leveraged and demonstrably successful activities, including the
wide-reaching Astrophysics Educator Ambassador program, and our popular
websites: Epo's Chronicles and the Gamma-ray Burst (GRB) Skymap. We also make
major contributions working collaboratively through the Astrophysics Science
Education and Public Outreach Forum (SEPOF) on activities such as the on-line
educator professional development course NASA's Multiwavelength Universe. Past
activities have included the development of many successful education units
including the GEMS Invisible Universe guide, the Gamma-ray Burst Educator's
guide, and the Newton's Laws Poster set; informal activities including support
for the International Year of Astronomy, the development of a toolkit about
supernovae for the amateur astronomers in the Night Sky Network, and the Swift
paper instrument and glider models.
