The L.E.A.P. 2013 Teacher Workshop

该奖项支持每年两次的洛厄尔教育天文学计划（LEAP）教师研讨会。LEAP是一项针对5 -8年级纳瓦霍和霍皮儿童及其教师的科学丰富和推广计划。该项目将天文学家与教师配对一年。这位天文学家全年都到教室参观，与老师一起主持天文学讨论和实践活动。这位天文学家还在学校举办明星派对，并邀请部落教育工作者介绍传统的天文知识。为期一年的合作关系在洛厄尔天文台的实地考察中达到高潮，学生们白天参观天文台的斯蒂尔游客中心，晚上用两台研究望远镜进行观测。

This award supports the bi-annual teacher workshop of the Lowell Educational Astronomy Program (LEAP). LEAP is a science enrichment and outreach program for 5th-8th grade Navajo and Hopi children and their teachers. The program pairs astronomers with teachers for one year. The astronomer visits the classroom throughout the year, leading astronomy discussions and hands-on activities in collaboration with the teacher. The astronomer also holds star parties at the school and involves tribal educators in presenting traditional astronomical knowledge. The year-long partnership culminates in a field trip to Lowell Observatory in which the students visit the Observatory's Steele Visitor Center during the day and observe on two research telescopes at night.
