In this project, the RISE researcher will analyze pre/post instruction multiple choice survey data on students’ concepts of wave properties and qualitatively analyze the students’ written responses to open ended assignment prompts. Results will be used to evaluate the curriculum effectiveness and direct further curriculum development and improvements. Faculty mentors:  Drs. Guy, Buckley, and Offerdahl Read Previous APS/IBM

interns discuss celestial image processing. Kop is making light curves, showing how the brightness of several variable stars changes over time. Ordaz captured images of globular clusters, constructing diagrams based on temperature and luminosity to estimate the age of these ancient clusters.STUDENT VOICES: Kop and Ordaz share their summer research from the W. M. Keck Observatory Julian Kop ’24 classifies variable star systems, data processing and modeling. “Astronomy and Astrophysics have been my

become reporters for the night—writing, tweeting, and taking photos for the News Tribune at various campaign parties around the Puget Sound, inputting data as it comes in at news stations like KOMO and Q13, and, new this year, shadowing reporters for Olympia’s TVW. There’s no easy way to capture the energy and excitement at these events—but that’s what students who are out at the election parties are asked to do. “It’s a free for all. It’s super high energy,” said business finance and economics
