Building Space Weather Literacy Through Sustained Engagement

Space weather affects all space systems, both natural and artificial. There is a rapid growth of
awareness in past decades of this reality and a critical need for space weather prediction due to
technology advances. Above all, space weather science and its history are outstanding vehicles
for teaching science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics. As a white paper
group, we recommend that the Decadal Survey builds space weather literacy within K–14
classrooms and the general public, covering all areas of studies in Heliophysics through sustained
engagement beyond celestial and spacecraft events.
