Come explore the stars in this exciting project-based ELO! We will start off learning how stars form, how they live, and how they come to a (sometimes) catastrophic end. We will learn about the brilliant people who have contributed to this field of science throughout history, and will hear from scientists who are actively doing this work today. We will have opportunities to observe the skies using telescopes and binoculars, and will learn about contributing data to citizen science databases. We finish the semester with a brief exploration of aerospace technology and a project of your choosing.
