Celebrate Earth Science Week next week. From their FAQ:
What is Earth Science Week?
Earth Science Week is an international event which takes place during the second full week of October. The American Geosciences Institute organizes the event for the geoscience community and publicizes the event, distributes materials, and provides guidance to those interested in participating in Earth Science Week. Earth Science Week is a "grass roots" effort that depends on local geoscience and education groups to plan those events.
How do I participate in Earth Science Week?
There are many ways to get involved in Earth Science Week. The event is designed to help the public gain a better understanding and appreciation for the Earth Sciences, so we encourage you to celebrate Earth Science Week in whatever way works best for you. You can attend an event listed in our database of Events Near You or Plan an Event for others to attend. To participate, you don't have to be an Earth scientist or a teacher. You don't have to travel to Washington, DC (where Earth Science Week is coordinated). You don't even have to celebrate Earth Science Week during the official week: celebrate throughout the year! We encourage you to participate by doing something that helps you and others learn about the Earth sciences.
