As part of this
event, SWE-WI is sponsoring a fundraiser for the Wisconsin School for
the Deaf STAR Program. All of the proceeds from this event will help
sponsor a group of students from the Wisconsin School for the Deaf to
attend a week long Space Camp in Alabama. The students are 4th through
7th graders who are part of a larger grant project known as Yerkes
Astrophysics Academy for Young Scientists, which was granted by the
National Science Foundation and is administered through the University
of Chicago/Yerkes Observatory.
The students
have had various opportunities to work side by side with astrophysicists
in the field to learn about telescopes, stars, space, infrared
technology including the new plane and IR telescope being created at the
University of Chicago, and so much more. They have worked hard in class,
nighttime observations using the telescopes, summer camp, virtual field
trips, teleconference meetings with an astrophysicist that works with
the Hubble telescope, etc. These activities have inspired the students
to develop an ongoing interest in space and astrophysics. Space camp
will provide these students with a once in a lifetime experience to
learn more about the areas they are interested in and hopefully
encourage an ongoing passion for learning in the fields of math,
science, engineering and technology. |
