A Need for Dedicated Outreach Expertise and Online Programming: Astro2020 Science White Paper

Abstract

Maximizing the public impact of astronomy projects in the next decade requires NSF-funded centers to support the development of online, mobile-friendly outreach and education activities. EPO teams with astronomy, education, and web development expertise should be in place to build accessible programs at scale and support astronomers doing outreach.
