Across the state, the Arizona Space Grant Consortium funds over 100 students per year. Many of these students, and especially our Space Grant Graduate Fellows, work hard to create STEM outreach components to their research projects. Outreach may be applicable for K-12, college, and general public audiences, and students have created content for a variety of STEM subjects. Please find some of these resources below.

| Parker Landon, ERAU Intern 2019-22 | Middle & High School | This video introduces interferometry and optical safety. It discusses the concepts of gravitational waves and how scientists use lasers to identify them. | YouTube Video |
| Kai Lepley, UArizona Fellow 2021-22 | All ages | Agrivoltaics, also known as "dual-use" or "co-located" renewable energy, is the practice of combining agriculture with solar power generation. This innovative approach can provide benefits for both farmers and solar energy producers. Learn more about agrivoltaics initiatives from around the world, and hear stories from those that use it through this interactive website and story map. | Agrivoltaics Atlas Website |
| Paul Rogozenski, UArizona Fellow 2022 | High School & Undergraduate | Cosmology is the study of the development, origin, structure, and fate of the universe. This Program will provide introductions to many of the topics necessary to being successful in the field of Cosmology but can be applied to most STEM fields, including important topics in physics, Python coding, and statistical inference. This course is not robust nor complete, but rather provides a high-level understanding of the relevant processes in the history of the universe and their connections without significant math overhead. | Cosmology Quick-Start Program |
| Diana Zamora-Reyes, UArizona Fellow 2019 | All ages | View an assortment of ArcGIS Story Maps (SMs), which are online interactive narratives that describe the development, attributes and consequences of flooding throughout Arizona. These SMs include graphics, images, and videos in both English and Spanish. | Story Maps of Historical Flooding in Arizona |
