    Stoney Grant Winner - Sally Wood-Hoskin Hartland High School, Hartland, MI 2009
    Sally wrote a grant proposal that was funded to incorporate elements of the IR Astronomy presentation at MESTA's Fall Conference last fall into her classroom. Her students will learn about simple electrical circuits, light, and IR Astronomy.
    Congratulations Sally!
    She will be sharing her sources for the supplies needed to do the activities referenced on this site (many cheaper!) soon.

    CheckCoolWiki is a site that was developed under the guidance of Dr. Luisa Rebull and teachers and students from past years of the Spitzer Research Program for Students and Teachers. It contains LOTS of information about the nuts and bolts of IR astronomy using the Spitzer Space Telescope. Check out what
