What happens when professional astronomers/space scientists and professional educators work on an education and public outreach program together? With the IDEAS Grant Program, the outcomes are as plentiful as stars in the Milky Way. However, one sure thing is that real science is reaching more widespread audiences through small education and public outreach grants. The programs funded by IDEAS have allowed teams of scientists and educators to explore innovative methods of bringing astronomy and space science out of the research arena and into classrooms and the general public. Over the past years, the IDEAS Grant Program has amassed a wide array of E/PO products. This poster will look at some examples of the products and discuss how they have impacted their target audiences.
