The SPARK Award
The annual Spark Award recognizes outstanding contributions to Science Education. This year, we are pleased to announce Dennis Schatz as the recipient!
Dennis Schatz is best known for being a long-term staff member of Pacific Science Center and was a Program Director at the National Science Foundation. He is currently working with science education leaders across North America to get the public ready for the solar eclipse “double-header” visible in North America, including the total solar eclipse of April 8, 2024 – the last total solar eclipse visible in the continental US until 2045. He is currently the Retiring President of the National Science Teaching Association (NSTA). In addition, he is on the board of BSCS Science Learning and a technical advisor to the Smithsonian Science Education Center (SSEC). He also serves on the Science and Engineering Education Council of URSA (Universities Space Research Association). He has received numerous honors, including having Asteroid 25232 renamed Asteroid Schatz by the International Astronomical Union in recognition of his leadership in astronomy and science education.
