ATE Central Outreach Kit
ATE Central Outreach Kit is an online toolkit created to help you disseminate your
work and promote your project or center. The Planning Guide shows you, step by step,
how to build and execute a realistic and achievable outreach plan. Learn new and
innovative ways to reach your audience and connect with the ATE community and beyond
with the Social Media Guide. Use the Communications Guide to craft your project
or center's message, discover new dissemination paths, and learn to build your own
media kit. In addition, you will find a Resources section which will direct you
to some best practices within NSF and ATE, other free and low-cost outreach tools,
further helpful links, and some suggested reading. If you’re ready to show Broader
Impacts and ensure your NSF mission, then get started with the ATE Outreach Kit.

ATE Social Media Directory
With the help from SC ATE, ATE Central has created this online directory of ATE
Centers and Projects that are using Social Media, along with some ATE partners and
collaborators, so that you can easily find them for best practices, professional
development, and staying in touch with the ATE community. If you would like to be
added to this listing please email info@atecentral.net
and we'll be glad to add your organization.
