Morphology and Orientaion Research: Inclination of AGN (MORIA) -- All-Volunteer NITARP 2026 team studying AGN with Euclid.
I knew that the kids would get a ton out of it, but the connections and opportunities for them is phenomenal. Doing teacher workshops when I’m done will be so much fun. Can’t wait to bring this to the state.
Real astronomy involves being able to problem solve and think critically, apply process skills, and communicate effectively.
Our kids did a fantastic job of interacting with the many astronomers and educators that came to see our poster. They were poised and knowledgeable and handled questions with ease. I heard many compliments not only about the students explanation of our work, but also about the great job they did constructing their poster.
