Abstract

NASA now requires every project have a public and educational outreach component. The educational side of this outreach must be based on the needs and requirements of the educational community. The NASA Scatterometer project, NSCAT, is one of the projects that has led the way in this approach to outreach. This was a major departure from what had been done before at JPL. NSCAT was the first JPL project to develop what they have called a “high density” educational product. The “density” of Winds of Change will become self-evident in the reading of this paper. The NSCAT project came to the JPL Educational Affairs Office (EAO) to form a partnership in the development of this CD-ROM and associated plans
