As part of its overall strategy to enhance learning in informal environments, the Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) program funds innovative resources for use in a variety of settings. This project is a time sensitive educational response to the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Nepal on April 25, 2015 and was followed by major aftershocks. This project builds on the intense worldwide interest in that disaster by developing and distributing media resources for the public and educators explaining the scientific research into tectonic and fluvial processes of this highly vulnerable region encompassing the Himalayas of Nepal, the Ganges-Brahmaputra River Delta of Bangladesh and India, and the mountains of northeastern India. Project deliverables include PBS NewsHour broadcasts and online stories, short videos for classroom use, 3D/2D videos for public screenings in museums, Earth Magazine blogs and articles, and DVDs. Making new research understandable and accessible to the public is an important activity of the U.S. research enterprise. NSF is making a substantial investment in earth sciences research to increase knowledge of the conditions and processes that periodically cause earthquakes, landslides, and flooding. This education project leverages those investments and the public interest in the recent Nepal earthquake with a major public engagement opportunity that has the potential for reaching millions of students, teachers, and the public both in the U.S. and in other vulnerable regions.

作为增强非正式环境学习的整体战略的一部分，前进的非正式STEM学习（AISL）计划为在各种环境中使用的创新资源提供了资金。该项目是对2015年4月25日袭击尼泊尔的7.8级地震的时间敏感的教育反应，随后是重大余震。 该项目以对这场灾难的强烈兴趣为基础，该项目通过为公众和教育工作者开发和分发媒体资源，解释了这个非常脆弱的地区的构造和河流过程的科学研究，涵盖了尼泊尔的喜马拉雅山脉，曼格斯 - 布拉赫马普特拉河河畔孟加拉国河河河河畔孟加拉国和印度以及印度山的印度山。 项目可交付成果包括PBS Newshour广播和在线故事，用于课堂使用的简短视频，用于博物馆，Earth Magazine Blog和文章的公开放映的3D/2D视频以及DVD。使新的研究是可以理解的，公众可以访问的是美国研究企业的重要活动。 NSF正在对地球科学研究进行大量投资，以增加对周期性地震，山体滑坡和洪水的状况和过程的了解。 该教育项目利用了这些投资和最近的尼泊尔地震中的公共利益，并有一个主要的公共参与机会，有可能吸引美国和其他脆弱地区的数百万学生，教师和公众。
