Join\u00a0Dr. Kimberly Arcand\u00a0as we learn ways to engage youth in\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0process of science using\u00a0NASA\u00a0Astrophysics data, with activities designed to encourage exploration of our universe and how we know what we know.<\/div>\n

We’ll also learn about free computer-based activities as well as paper\/pencil or other hands-on activities, and help youth learn about computer-aided data collection and processing, an essential part of research using space- and ground-based telescopes. Scientists rely on computers not only to do calculations, but also to transform data into images.\u00a0Coding<\/span>\u00a0and programming are some of\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0many tools that astronomers need to study\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0information from our space telescopes.<\/p>\n

Dr. Kimberly Arcand is a leading expert in astronomy visualization and has been a pioneer in 3D imaging, printing, and extended reality applications with astrophysics data. She has worked for\u00a0NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory at\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory since 1998.\u00a0Her current projects include sonification of spatial data,\u00a0screen-based holograms\u00a0and\u00a0other intersections of emerging technology and astrophysics.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
