July 21- July 25 2003
Following the SCIPP/COS Workshops on ballooning last March (Balloonfest 2003), we are planning a Workshop for teachers to work on data taking with balloons and analysis of this data. We will discuss and improve data analysis of high school students participating in previous balloon fests.
The workshop took place on July 21-25 at the UCSC campus. We are asking Quarknet to fund $300 per teacher stipend and in addition $250 for equipment (yours).
Attendees were:
James Dann, Stuart Briber and Steve Kliewer.
The program was good mixture of details of data analysis, writing lab manuals, planning of future activities and lectures by UCSC scientists. One outcome was the decision to hold the Balloon Fest 2004 in the spring on the UC Santa Cruz campus.
