Peter Pitman attended the Gemini Data Workshop at NOAO in Tucson in July.
Over 140 White Bear Lake students have enrolled in Peter Pitman's Descriptive Astronomy course for the fall semester. Several of these students have shown an interest in continuing their study in the Advanced Topics course of which the NITARP research studies are an significant part. In addition, a new course will be offered to White Bear Lake Seniors for the 2011-12 school year. I am currently writing the curriculum and lesson plans for The Science of Aviation and Spaceflight, an introduction to the history and engineering of air and space travel and the career opportunities available after this course of study. Following completion, students will be eligible to take the practical exam for pilot ground school certification.
