Description:
The CAI is a yearlong program intended to give teams of motivated high school students and their science and math teachers from partner schools and districts an opportunity to take part in authentic x-ray astronomy research. The program is implemented by staff from the MIT Kavli Institute education and public outreach (MKI EPO) office with support from MKI researchers. CAI consists of a month long, 6 hour per day summer session, and school year x-ray research projects mentored by MKI EPO educators and MKI researchers. CAI culminates with presentations of students’ research projects at a community-wide science day in the spring. Recruitment of teachers and students at partner schools and districts begins in early spring.
