DESCRIPTION
During this online workshop, we heard from NISE Network partners on and off the path of totality about their plans for events during the April 8, 2024 Total Solar Eclipse. We also highlighted resources from multiple sources that can be used for public engagement as well as preparing volunteers and staff for events. Ideas and experiences were shared to help inform work and provide all audiences with unforgettable programming during this historic event!
