8. M. Bardeen, Homestake Feb. 2006 DUSEL — a Research Lab Local: Lab-based Programs National: Experiment-based & Web-based Programs Mission-based research implies mission-based education. Build on lab’s strengths. “Doing Science”

9. M. Bardeen, Homestake Feb. 2006 Local & National Communities Local: Lab-based Programs National: Experiment-based & Web-based Programs The key is interesting people in the science. What are the big questions? How do you state them for me? How can you help people understand how you work? How can you involve students and teachers in your work? Reaching Out Partnering

29. M. Bardeen, Homestake Feb. 2006 3 Things to Remember Use DUSEL research as the foundation for programs. Get students and teachers engaged in doing science. Create partnerships between teachers and scientists.

30. M. Bardeen, Homestake Feb. 2006 Other Things to Remember It takes real commitment, real effort, real money. DUSEL has people, multidisciplinary research & data. Take advantage of lab-based & experiment-based programs. Use the Internet to reach national audiences. Figure out the scale of activities that works for DUSEL. Maintain support from the top. Find "volunteers" among the scientific & technical staff. Make it possible for "users" to participate in E&O. Develop an appropriate niche for the lab. Know & use best practices (and what NSF favors). Collaborate with others. Meet needs identified by the K-12 community.
