Introduction

Backyard Aliens: A Close Encounter has been developed in partnership with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration- NASA- as part of its Earth Sciences mission. The exhibit and its programs provide opportunities for you to expand your understanding of our changing environment on Earth, and in particular Hawai‘i .

Alien introductions are causing significant changes to our Island environment. Explore the changes happening in your backyard and you will understand the massive global changes that are happening all over the world.

As partners with NASA we are committed to excellence in education. We provide lifelong learners with information and experiences in science, mathematics, technology, and geography.

By stimulating a better understanding of the complex issues that face our planet, we hope to insure the sustainable development of our environment while improving the quality of life on Earth.
