Steve Graham is a Principal Outreach and Exhibits Specialist and Team Lead for NASA’s Science Support Office (SSO). The SSO serves as the primary point of contact for the Science Mission Directorate and Earth Science Division for science exhibit outreach and product development. The office brings together a unique skill set in “one team” that enables it to conceptualize, plan, design, and deliver successful small- and large-scale exhibit support services for NASA's Science Mission Directorate.
He has worked at NASA Goddard since July 1997, and for much of that time his work has centered on outreach and technical capabilities in support of NASA’s exhibit activities at science and technical conferences worldwide. In April 1999, he was the outreach coordinator and webcast moderator for a historic expedition to the Arctic and the North Pole.
A large majority of Steve’s efforts within the SSO are spent managing the team's collaborations with scientists, data visualizers, and multimedia developers on the production and dissemination of NASA Science outreach products and activities for science exhibits and NASA’s hyperwall, a nine-screen video wall used to display high resolution data and model visualizations.
From 2000-2006, Steve served on the American Meteorological Society's Board on Pre-College Outreach and Education and has served as a Panel Chair and Science Content Reviewer for NASA's Earth Science Education Product Review since 1999. He has also presented at numerous NASA Earth Science Education workshops and meetings. Steve has a B.S. in Meteorology and an M.S. in Science Education from The Florida State University.
Before beginning his tenure at Goddard Space Flight Center, Steve managed the Florida State University Meteorology Department’s K-12 outreach program—Florida EXPLORES. This unique initiative implemented NOAA direct readout satellite ground stations into classrooms throughout the state of Florida. He also team-taught an Earth Science course for Elementary Education majors.
