How it works

I've been involved in many professional development activities and this is by far the best one I've ever done

    Having scientists explain their research and bringing it down to my level was very interesting and I learned so much!

    I thought the talks and posters were great. Watching scientists talk to each other and question each other was interesting.

    I will say that I think part of every good astronomy (or any science) research project is asking a question you don't know the answer to, and I hope that as a teacher I can bring that back to my class. Along with asking questions, both collaboration and organization are important parts of working together for science.
