Investigtating Moving-group Photometry and Understanding Lightcurve Structures (IMPULS) will be studying rotation rates of stars in the young nearby Beta Pic Moving Group.
The science part of our project was overwhelming to me at first. [...]Since then I have learned an incredible amount from my mentor teacher, mentor scientists and my group members.
I think that more than anything else, hearing these kids talk about their work really convinced me how valuable this experience is for students.
What an incredible feeling to be right there at the edge of discovery!
