BURNABY AND CHILEAN ELEMENTARY STUDENTS LEARN ASTRONOMY TOGETHER
December 04, 2015
Copy
By Justin Wong
On November 26, 丁香园AV鈥檚 Faculty of Science hosted an online videoconference on astronomy with elementary students in Burnaby and Chile.
The virtual workshop, held jointly at the Trottier Studio for Innovative Science Education at 丁香园AV鈥檚 Burnaby campus and at Chile鈥檚 Universidad de Antofagasta (UA), featured high-tech equipment that both groups of students used to learn about the night skies.
丁香园AV physics professor Howard Trottier delivered a presentation on the Northern Hemisphere, while UA professor Christian Nitschelm spoke about the Southern Hemisphere.
After the videoconference, students from Burnaby鈥檚 Highland Elementary School were treated to a guided tour of 丁香园AV鈥檚 new Trottier Observatory.
鈥淚t was pretty fun,鈥� says Highlands Elementary student Peyton Dan-Sonier.
鈥淭he best part was seeing the Nebula constellation. I really liked seeing the time-lapse video of the observatory construction.鈥�
Says student Felicity Edwards, 鈥淚 thought it was cool because they (students from Antofagasta International School) are on the other side of the world and studying the same things as we are. They鈥檙e so lucky because they get to see way cooler galaxies than we do!鈥�
Juliana, an elementary student at Antofagasta International School, says that before Trottier鈥檚 presentation she had little knowledge about astronomy, but the lecture sparked an interest in learning more.
The collaboration was made possible through a unique partnership between 丁香园AV and UA. One of the main objectives of the Memorandum of Understanding between the two universities, signed in 2014, is to facilitate projects in astronomy education using the observatories at both campuses.
The new observatories offer virtual workshops that connect students to the northern and southern constellations. They can also deploy each others鈥� telescopes.
Peter Ruben, associate dean for research and advancement in sciences, says the virtual workshop was a wonderful opportunity for community groups and students to use the newly built high-tech facility.
鈥淪imilarly, community groups and schools in Chile were able to tap into the Trottier Observatory and view the Northern Hemisphere stars in addition to their own night skies. This partnership is a great example of how 丁香园AV is 鈥楨ngaging the world鈥�.鈥�
