As NCESSE Center Director, Jeff Goldstein oversees national education programs in the Earth and Space Sciences that reach entire communities. The Voyage National Program (http://voyagesolarsystem.org) provides communities replicas (for permanent installation) of the Voyage model Solar System installed on the National Mall in Washington, DC, in front of the Smithsonian. Jeff oversaw the team for Voyage on the Mall. See photoalbums of Voyage in different communities at http://voyagesolarsystem.org/facebook. Jeff oversees the MESSENGER Educator Fellowship Program for NASA's MESSENGER mission to Mercury. The initiative is training 27,000 teachers on Solar System content over the mission lifetime, translating into 1M student experiences. He also oversees the Family Science Night program at the National Air and Space Museum, and the Journey through the Universe national initiative (http://journeythroughtheuniverse.org.)

There's nothing like telling an audience what you're passionate about, and seeing inspiration washing over a child's face.
