The mission of NESDIS Education is to provide opportunities for individuals of all ages and backgrounds to learn about the information we collect, which spans from the depths of the ocean to the surface of the Sun, and how we use it to learn about and protect our environment.
We aim to inspire students and the public, help educators incorporate resources into their teaching, and build enduring relationships with partners whose expertise complements our own.

Additional Resources from Across NOAA
- NOAA Educational Resources - NOAA’s portal to connect with learning and teaching resources about the ocean and the atmosphere.
- Data In the Classroom - With NOAA’s Data in the Classroom, students use real-time ocean data to explore today’s most pressing environmental issues, as well as develop problem-solving skills employed by scientists.
- NOAA View Global Data Explorer - Access NOAA data from a variety of satellite, model, and other observations in a single, user-friendly map. Investigate various datasets related to the ocean, atmosphere, land, cryosphere, and climate and view them as animations over weeks, months, or years. Mouse over the maps to inspect individual data values at any point.
- Science on a Sphere - This interactive program is a room-sized global display system that projects visualizations of planetary information onto a six-foot diameter sphere to help illustrate Earth System science to people of all ages.
