MIT Haystack Observatory NSF Research Experience for Teachers

MIT Haystack Observatory NSF Research Experience for Teachers: Local area high school teachers will work with staff scientists on a project using observational instruments and will receive hands-on experience in the field of radio astronomy and atmospheric science. Participants will also have the opportunity to attend weekly seminars focusing on various areas of research conducted at Haystack. The goal of the program is for the teachers to develop a unit of inquiry-based lesson plans for a particular high school level, based on their summer research internship. http://www.haystack.mit.edu/edu/ret/index.html
