Sheri Klug
Sheri is a certified teacher with K 12 science teaching experience. Her K-12 school
programs included working with migrant-focused summer science camps, after school
science clubs for elementary students, and creating and delivering classroom hands-on
science instruction as a district science specialist.
She is currently the Director of the ASU Mars Education Program (since 1998). This
program is housed within the Mars Space Flight Facility in the Department of Geological
Sciences at Arizona State University. As director, she facilitates national education
workshops focused on Mars exploration, edits and co-writes inquiry based standards-based
curriculum that highlight Mars mission objectives, provide Earth/Mars analog field-based
experiences for educators, is a member of the national Solar System Girl Scout Leadership
Training Team, and participates on several E/PO committees (Solar System E/PO Committee
and Planetary Data in Education Working Group).
Sheri is the formal education lead for the Mars Public Engagement Team at Jet Propulsion
Laboratory in Pasadena, CA and is the Education and Public Outreach representative
on the Solar System Exploration Subcommittee for NASA Headquarters. As such, she
attends Mars science team meetings and technical science presentations to keep up
to date on the latest science discussions and witness, first hand, the process of
science and scientific discovery.
As an education interface with the science teams, she works to involve the Mars
team in education and to help translate NASA’s science and engineering objectives
to the K-20 education community in meaningful ways.
