This project from the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP) is centered on the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse, which will traverse the US from southwest to the northeast, passing over several urban areas. The ASP’s Eclipse Ambassadors Project will train 300 teachers and astronomers to facilitate activities in a solar eclipse kit to be developed as a part of this project. This project includes professional development for elementary and middle school teachers and scientists. This project provides opportunities for students from groups underrepresented in STEM. This award is jointly supported by the Solar Terrestrial Research, the Discovery Research in K-12 (DRK-12), the Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL), and the Astronomical Sciences Education and Special Programs.Approximately 200 Grade K-9 science teachers and 100 astronomers are estimated to engage with a minimum of 20,000 members of the public and an additional 10,000 school students. Upon acceptance to participate in workshops, approximately 200 Grade K-9 science teachers and 100 astronomers will receive the eclipse kits and 3 hours of online professional development. They will also receive permanent access to the Learn@ASP portal, which provides access to materials and other ambassadors, facilitating professional development beyond the eclipse.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.

来自太平洋天文学学会（ASP）的该项目以2024年的日食为中心，该项目将从西南到东北，经过几个城市地区。 ASP的Eclipse大使项目将培训300名教师和天文学家，以支持日食套件中的活动，以作为该项目的一部分开发。该项目包括针对小学和中学教师和科学家的专业发展。该项目为STEM中代表性不足的小组的学生提供了机会。该奖项由太阳陆地研究，K-12（DRK-12）的发现研究，前进的非正式STEM学习（AISL）以及天文学科学教育和特殊课程共同支持。大约200名K-9级科学教师和100名天文学家估计，估计有20,000名公众的成员和其他10,000名学生和10,000名学生。接受参加研讨会后，大约200名K-9级科学教师和100名天文学家将获得Eclipse套件和3个小时的在线专业发展。他们还将永久访问Learn@ASP门户网站，该门户提供了对材料和其他大使的访问权限，支持Eclipse以外的专业发展。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的智力优点评估和更广泛影响的审查标准，被视为珍贵的支持。
