21st Century Astronomy Ambassadors Program - The Continuing Vista

该奖项支持“21世纪世纪天文大使计划：德克萨斯大学布朗斯维尔分校高中生暑期学院”。该计划支持来自德克萨斯州下格兰德河谷（TRGV）的高中生，他们将积极参与现代天文学的研究，包括德克萨斯大学布朗斯维尔（UTB）的引力波（GW）天文学。暑期学院的目标是向当地年轻的高中生介绍物理学和天文学作为一个令人兴奋的研究领域。对科学感兴趣的学生将接触大学研究，并获得引力波天文学中心（CGWA）所做的前沿研究的第一手知识。12-16名高中生将有机会直接与CGWA的教职员工合作。学生们将在为期四周的暑期学校每周学习30个小时。在夏季学院的学生将采取理论课，以及有实验室动手经验。到夏天结束时，学生将在一个论坛上展示他们的作品，家庭，教师和媒体都可以出席。随后，他们将与CGWA的教职员工一起参与研究。

This award supports the "21st Century Astronomy Ambassadors Program : A summer academy for high school students at University of Texas at Brownsville". The program supports high school students from the Texas Lower Rio Grande Valley (TRGV) who will become actively involved in research of modern astronomy including gravitational wave (GW) astronomy at the University of Texas at Brownsville (UTB). The goal of the summer academy is to introduce young local high school students to physics and astronomy as an exciting field of study. Students who have an interest in science will gain exposure to university research and also a first hand knowledge of cutting edge research done by the Center for Gravitational Wave Astronomy (CGWA). Between 12-16 high school students will be given the opportunity to work directly with faculty and staff of the CGWA. The students will spend 30 hours a week at summer academy for a four week period. During the summer academy students will take theoretical classes as well as have laboratory hands-on experience. By the end of the summer the students will present their work in a forum where family, faculty and the media could be present. They are subsequently expected to get involved in research in association with the CGWA faculty members.
