Welcome to our June 2024 newsletter. The big news: Open House is back, bigger and better than ever! Also inside, LSOP visits a Texas for the total solar eclipse. Check out the updates on our work to connect with Native communities, visit local schools, and work with CSU Spur. And finally, read about the LSOP experience from the point of view of former interns, Brenna Sydow and Grace Balle, and see the awesome work that Eric Hazlett is up to now at St. Olaf College.
The last half year has been extremely busy for the LSOP Crew. We teamed up with Amplify to develop two awesome new programs, worked with indigenous communities, and took part in the grand reopening of the Madison McDonald Observatory. LSOP teamed up with the Physics Department to host the American Association of Physics Teachers Colorado/Wyoming Section annual meeting and we teamed up with CSU Spur to host an eclipse watching party. We also developed Making Waves kits with the American Physical Society as part of PhysicsQuest. This newsletter features an article called Part of the LSOP Family by our intern (and brand new CSU student) Erika Monrreal-Garcia!
This is our first newsletter! Learn about the recent happenings at LSOP including the Spring Science Extravaganza, as well as our work with CSU Spur, Bohemian Neighborhood Science Experiences, and our Indigenous Connections. Also featured are some of our future projects including Classroom Connections and Teacher Kits with Poudre School District. Finally, you will meet some of the folks who make LSOP run, including Olivia Santiago, Cherie Bornhorst, and Patrick Lindsell, and you will get the intern perspective from Madi de Vries.
