These are school kids of age 15-17 who work for a week at the university. They will mostly have only very limited background in astronomy and physics. The kids shall visit the OSN and the 30m on four Wednesdays. These will be groups of 32 students, and we discussed to split them up into two.
Dates: July, 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th 30m-guide
- Ute Lisenfeld (27.6.2017): la semana que viene empieza el Campus de Ciencia para alumnos de instituto (Bachillerato y 4 de ESO) en la que nuestro grupo participa. La tarde del Miercoles los alumnos suben a Sierra Nevada para ver los telescopio (IRAM y OSN). El año pasado en el Campus está actividad les gustó mucho - así muchas gracias por darles la oportunidad! Ya sabemos los detalles de la subida: Las fechas son 5, 12, 19, y 26 de Julio. El autobus sale a las 3:30 desde Granada, asi llegara sobre las 4:30-5. Hay unos 30 alumnos mas 2 monitores mas 3-4 profesores, así en total unos 35-37 personas. Haremos dos grupos como siempre.
