The WISE (Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer) mission is a NASA MIDEX mission that will map the entire sky in infrared light, searching for the nearest and coolest stars, the origins of stellar and planetary systems, and the most luminous galaxies in the Universe. The ultimate product of WISE will be an all-sky image atlas in 4 infrared wave bands, and a catalogue of over 300 million sources. The Education and Public Outreach (EPO) Program for WISE will bring together a veritable who's who of professionals in formal and informal astronomy education from around the nation to engage students, teachers, and the public in this exciting mission and its science. We designed our EPO plan to train WISE Educator Ambassadors in authentic infrared astronomy research, create standard-based curriculum on exciting topics in infrared astronomy, engage students and the public in asteroid research, develop programming for museums and science centers, and engage the public in WISE science.
