Scheduled to see "first light" in 2013, the 8.4-meter LSST will be able to survey the entire visible sky every three nights with its three-billion pixel digital camera, probing the mysteries of Dark Matter and Dark Energy. LSST will open a movie-like window on objects that change or move on rapid timescales: exploding supernovae, potentially hazardous near-Earth asteroids as small as 100 meters, and distant Kuiper Belt Objects.
The potential for education and outreach with the LSST is as far reaching as the telescope itself. All data are public and offered through an EPO program that actively engages the public in the universe. In this talk, we give a brief overview of the EPO Operations Plan for LSST, describe challenges known to the EPO team, and invite discussion.
