The Sun-Earth Connection Education Forum (SECEF) is one of four national centers of space science education and outreach funded by NASA's Office of Space Science (OSS). SECEF acts as a central clearinghouse of information and coordination, facilitating the effective archiving and dissemination of education and public outreach materials from NASA SEC missions and scientists. SECEF also helps coordinate participation of SEC missions at national education conferences, such as the National Science Teachers Association and the Association of Science and Technology Centers. SECEF is working with the other three OSS theme Education Forums (Solar System Exploration, Origins, and Structure and Evolution of the Universe) to develop an on-line resource directory for EPO products for teachers and the general public. SECEF is also leveraging high visibility public events, such as the 1998 Total Solar Eclpise Webcast in partnership with the Exploratorium museum, to highlight SEC research and the people responsible for the science discoveries. Our poster will describe in more detail how SECEF can serve the NASA SEC community in the context of EPO, show a short video of the Eclipse '98 Webcast, and describe how scientists can become involved in the upcoming Eclipse '99 Webcast from the Black Sea and Turkey. This will be the best looking poster at the meeting - don't miss it!
