  • Space Math @ NASA - visit this NASA resource to download hundreds of math problems for grades K12 featuring a behind the scenes look at NASA press release
  • Global Telescope Network Website - an informal association of scientists, students, individuals and observatories interested in supporting the NASA Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, Swift, and XMM-Newton missions by obtaining and reducing ground-based observations for objects related to the primary science goals for these missions.
  • NASA Wavelength - this website contains a searchable database of NASA education support materials covering Earth and space science. The materials cover a variety of learning environments and all age levels from elementary to college.

For all

  • Einstein@Home - a distributed computing effort that uses downtime on computers of volunteers to process astronomical data. In July of 2011, the project extended the search for gamma-ray pulsars to the general public by including Fermi LAT data in the work processed by Einstein@Home users.
  • Fermi Pulsar Explorer - this online interactive includes an all-sky map that links to information about each of the 101 Fermi pulsars known so far, as well as video and background information on Fermi and gamma-ray astronomy
  • Imagine the Universe - this site is intended for people aged 14 and up to learn about the universe.
  • Star Child - this site is dedicated to educating children about basic astronomical phenomena, such as why the planets don't fly off into space. It is a perfect site for the inquisitive young mind.
  • The Space Place - this site is a fun place for kids to learn about space. There are games and fun materials available to download.
  • Fermi Satellite Showcase - a page on Fermi from NASA's Imagine the Universe
