The eruption of Mauna Loa, Earth’s largest volcano, is an opportunity to greatly increase new information about natural hazards, and how scientists and students learn about volcanoes. By acquiring new footage of the eruption and surroundings, interviews with Native Hawaiian scientists, students, and others, this project hopes to extend the impact of geoscience research, outreach, and education by providing timely and effective media products that are distributed to a wide audience via public television and the internet. The goal is to provide a better understanding geological phenomena and their impact on diverse communities as well as the scientific research and indigenous knowledge of Native Hawaiian scientists.The goal of the project is to work on updating earth science’s fundamental theory of plate tectonics by studying the eruption of the Mauna Loa volcano. By showing the lessons learned and the indigenous knowledge of Native Hawaiian scientists, the knowledge base in the geosciences becomes better informed regarding geological hazards like volcanos, earthquakes, landslides, and floods. Additionally, this project can address the need for diversity in the field by inspiring youth from underrepresented communities to pursue careers in geoscience. The activities and products include filming new footage in Hawaii, incorporating new content into a one-hour documentary film (Planet of the Plates), creating a website that contains a series of short videos and learning materials, and conducting formative and summative evaluation to determine the effectiveness of the products. The video footage and educational content will be formatively evaluated using focus groups and surveys of diverse scientists, educators, and community members. An overall assessment, summative evaluation, of whether the project goals are being achieved will be determined by analyzing viewer data from PBS, the companion website, and the Internet (YouTube channel).This project is funded by the Advancing Informal STEM Learning program, which supports projects committed to: (a) research and practice that illuminates informal STEM learning's role in equity and belonging in STEM; (b) personal and educational success in STEM; (c) advancing public engagement in scientific discovery; (d) fostering interest in STEM careers; (e) creating and enhancing the theoretical and empirical foundations for effective informal STEM learning; (f) improving community vibrancy; and/or (g) enhancing science communication and the public's engagement in and understanding of STEM and STEM processes.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

地球上最大的火山莫纳罗亚火山的喷发是一个机会，可以通过获取有关喷发和周围环境的新镜头、采访夏威夷原住民科学家、学生和学生，极大地增加有关自然灾害的新信息，以及科学家和学生了解火山的方式。该项目希望通过公共电视和互联网向广大受众提供及时有效的媒体产品，扩大地球科学研究、推广和教育的影响。他们的影响不同社区以及夏威夷原住民科学家的科学研究和本土知识。该项目的目标是通过研究莫纳罗亚火山的喷发来更新地球科学的板块构造基本理论。通过夏威夷原住民科学家的本土知识，地球科学的知识库可以更好地了解火山、地震、山体滑坡和洪水等地质灾害。此外，该项目可以通过激励年轻人来满足该领域的多样性需求。这些活动和产品包括在夏威夷拍摄新的镜头、将新内容融入一小时的纪录片（板块星球）、创建一个包含一系列短片和学习材料的网站，形成性和总结性评估，以确定产品的有效性，通过焦点小组和对不同科学家、教育工作者和社区成员的调查，对视频片段和教育内容进行形成性评估。正在实现的目标将是通过分析来自 PBS、配套网站和互联网（YouTube 频道）的观众数据来确定。该项目由推进非正式 STEM 学习计划资助，该计划支持致力于以下项目：(a) 阐明非正式 STEM 学习作用的研究和实践(b) 个人和教育方面的成功； (c) 促进公众对科学发现的参与； (e) 为有效的非正式 STEM 创造和加强理论和经验基础；学习；(f) 提高社区活力；和/或 (g) 加强科学传播以及公众对 STEM 和 STEM 流程的参与和理解。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识进行评估，被认为值得支持。优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
