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.

地球最大的火山莫纳·洛阿（Mauna Loa）的爆发是一个大大增加有关自然危害的新信息的机会，以及科学家和学生如何学习火山。通过获取喷发和周围环境的新镜头，对夏威夷本地科学家，学生和其他人的采访，该项目希望通过提供及时有效的媒体产品来扩展地球科学研究，外展和教育的影响，这些产品通过公共电视和互联网分发给广泛的受众。目的是更好地了解地质现象及其对潜水员社区的影响以及对夏威夷本地科学家的科学研究和土著知识的影响。该项目的目的是通过研究Mauna Loa火山的喷发来更新地球科学的基本理论。通过展示所学到的经验教训和夏威夷本地科学家的土著知识，地球科学中的知识基础变得更好地了解了地质危害，例如火山，地震，滑坡和地板。此外，该项目可以通过激发代表性不足的社区到地球科学的追随者的青年来解决该领域的多样性。活动和产品包括在夏威夷拍摄新镜头，将新内容编码为一小时的纪录片（板球行星），创建一个包含一系列简短视频和学习材料的网站，并进行形成性和总结性评估以确定产品的有效性。录像带和教育内容将使用焦点小组和潜水员科学家，教育工作者和社区成员的焦点小组和调查进行形式上评估。是否实现项目目标的总体评估，总结性评估将由来自PBS，公司网站和Internet（YouTube频道）的分析的查看器数据确定。该项目由非正式的STEM学习计划提供资金，该项目支持致力于以下项目的项目：（a）研究和实践，这些研究和实践在公寓中浮现了知识的STEM学习在公寓中的作用，并属于STEM中的STEM中属于STEM中的角色； （b）STEM的个人和教育成功； （c）推进公众参与科学发现； （d）促进对STEM职业的兴趣； （e）为有效的非正式STEM学习创造和增强理论和经验基础； （f）改善社区活力；和/或（g）加强科学传播以及公众对STEM和STEM过程的参与和理解。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，被认为是通过评估而被视为珍贵的。
