Solar exploration inspires students and the public to gain a better understanding of the Sun's role in the Earth's environment. New solar discoveries also inspire innovative educational efforts to communicate the results of these explorations. We will describe the E/PO plans associated with the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) instrument planned for NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, to be launched in 2008. Our program addresses aspects of formal education, informal education, and public outreach. Projects include a student Science Fellow program being developed in collaboration with Stanford's Haas Center for Public Service, a high-school-appropriate ionospheric disturbance monitor that tracks solar-induced changes in the Earth's ionosphere, development of a new solar program for portable planetaria -- including almost-full-dome projection, and a planned StarDate radio series.
