The NISE Network runs a series of free online workshops to increase the number of professional development opportunities available to our partners, and create more channels for partners to share their work and learn from each other directly.
Online Workshop: Kick-Start Your Planning for 2023 and 2024 Solar Eclipse Events

The 2023 Annular Solar Eclipse (October 14, 2023) and the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse (April 8, 2024) are right around the corner! In 2023, the path of totality will cross Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and Texas. In 2024, the path of totality will cross Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. During both events, all of North America will have at least a partial solar eclipse. Join this online workshop to learn more about the science of solar eclipses and the many resources available to engage your audiences in these exciting celebrations. We will be joined by presenters who will share their insights, experiences, expertise, as well as information about new resources that will be available for 2023 and 2024. Kick-start your planning today and be ready for these exciting events.
