Events are held in all 50 states with a host of supportive activities taking place at science agencies, universities, museums, and other science-related facilities. This year’s theme, Earth as Inspiration , provides learning resources and activities to engage young people and others in exploring the relationship between the arts and the Earth systems. The mission is to engage students in discovering the Earth sciences, remind people that Earth science is all around us, encourage Earth stewardship through understanding, and motivate geoscientists to share their knowledge and enthusiasm about the Earth.
