We are thrilled to introduce you to Science Core Heuristics for Open Science Outcomes in Learning (SCHOOL), a flagship initiative under NASA's Transform to Open Science (TOPS) Training program. SCHOOL represents our collective vision to make science open, inclusive, and accessible to all. Our mission is to inspire students, educators, and researchers to leverage NASA Earth Science Applications and embrace the power of Open Science in solving some of the world’s most pressing challenges.
The SCHOOL project was started with funding from a NASA ROSES Grant under the Transform to Open Science - Training mission. The SCHOOL curriculum consists of open, interactive, and interdisciplinary learning modules covering thematic areas including water, health and air quality, natural disasters, climate, agriculture, and wildfires, while integrating themes of population and infrastructure across the modules. Within each module, lessons demonstrate how to access, store, process, analyze, and communicate open data following the data science life cycle, and focusing on FAIR principles for scientific data management.
