Anna's Place NOLA Eclipse Outreach
Anna's Place NOLA is a K-12 after school informal education program that serves 75 students in the Treme area of New Orleans. Last year they received a NASA Next Gen STEM TEAM II ANKR award. By leveraging their status as a NASA Community Anchor and a NASA ASTRO CAMP site, they were able to raise enough funds to travel with their team to the eclipse site in Morrilton, Arkansas. Their art was used as outreach materials at the annular eclipse.
