Education & Outreach

You can explore the atmosphere, too. From the learning games on Kid's Crossing, to Windows to the Universe, there are many ways to learn about our atmosphere, and the scientists who study it.

There are opportunities for undergraduates with internship programs such as SOARS; and Post graduate students should explore the opportunities to work with NCAR, via the Advanced Study Program.

NCAR is committed to developing and enhancing public interest in and understanding of science. Educators can take an online course, view teaching resources by grade-level in the Educator's Bridge, or get up-to-speed on Weather & Climate Basics.
