allowed rich partnerships between formal, informal and scientific institutions to develop, strengthen, become more efficient and grow effectively. Initial funding allowed for the collaborative development of the GEMS Space Science Sequence for grades 6-8, a product of partnership between NASA scientists and E/PO professionals with Lawrence Hall of Science, Adler Planetarium and NASA Science Mission Directorate Forums.

Independent evaluation determined that 86 alumni from two courses in turn reached over 4 million visitors to parks and refuges with content derived from ETS courses, through a variety of products and programs ranging from news articles to exhibits, peer and teacher-training events, ranger-led interpretive programs, and much more. We will illustrate the best practices of ETS that have enabled us to build, maintain, deepen and expand a successful and effective collaboration between NASA scientists, and the educational institution that is represented by the training divisions and the professional informal educators of both NPS and USFWS.

Enabling and sustaining a network of "volunpeers" empowered to organize science education events in their communities further strengthens the reach of educational science materials. We summarize a sample of our synthesized suite of programs in informal and formal education that communicate the compelling topics that the high-energy Universe can reveal as well as provide an overview of the guiding research and evaluation results.
