Bringing Astronomy to Kids in Crisis
Here at Spitzer, we’ve just spent a fabulous 8 weeks working with Learning Works, a local school for youth in crisis, teaching their 9th grade students about astronomy, and taking our own images of famous astronomical objects with the 2m robotic, professional-grade Faulkes Telescopes.
Our Proposal is Written, Now the Research Begins!
I've come to the realization (for the second school year in a row) that blogging during the school year is near impossible for me, which isn't the greatest thing. I feel like reflecting on what I'm going through (an awesome experience like NITARP or just everyday teaching) helps me to process and get better.
My Visit to AAS with NITARP
I very excitedly registered for the AAS meeting, booked a hotel and worked with the JPL staff to book my flights. I shared the news with my students, my family, my friends, and anyone else who would listen!
