Thank you, Pranoti! As of now, we have several people who offered to help in May, but I will be happy to get more people to present in June and July.
The topics to be covered in May are the following:
- The history of SETI ( by SETIQuest editor)
- Search for exoplanets (GMU researcher)
- Biosignatures ( RiceU researcher)
- The history of search for life on Mars (JPL researcher)
We see lots of interest, with over 100 kids coming for a webinar from all corners of the world.
If any AGU member would like to share their knowledge and enthusiasm about planetary sciences with children, I would be happy to hear from them.

Dear everyone,
I teach astrobiology and space exploration to 10-12 yr olds. At these trying times, I am thinking about offering free webinars on Earth and space science to the public via Zoom. Please let me know if you would like to join the effort. Each webinar is 1 hr long, and may be scheduled on the time that is most convenient to you. I have an access to many families all over the globe, who might be really interested.
Best regards,
Julia Brodsky
