WSD students, Anna McCartney and Lyssa Matsche, have been invited to participate in the NITARP (NASA Teacher Archive Research Program) Project this summer at the Spitzer Science Center in Pasadena, California! In cooperation with scientists from Yerkes Observatory (in Williams Bay, WI) Lyssa, Anna, and WSD teacher, Jennifer VanderMolen, will work with astronomers and other students searching for and identifying BABY stars using infrared telescopes. COOL!
When they return in the fall, Anna and Lyssa will have an opportunity to work with Yerkes Scientists analyzing the data that they collected during the summer. In Janurary, they will present their research at an international conference in Seattle.
Congratulations Anna and Lyssa!
We are very proud of you!
