Rain EnGAUGE

Celebrate the launch of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Mission by hosting a GPM Rain EnGAUGE Event – a family science night at your school, outdoor education center, library or museum. See below for a full electronic toolkit, including activities menu, planning schedules, a sample advertising flier, and more. For the most up-to-date information and new activities as they are developed, check back here or contact us for more details. The satellite launches in February 2014, so the celebrations can start as early as March, but get your GPM Rain EnGAUGE Event on the calendar for your organization today. Please make sure you contact us if you plan to host an event so that we can send you a supply kit with GPM stickers, water droplet handouts, lithographs, and other materials to help you run your activities!
