Education
Engaging the public and students of all ages
- Partnership with University of Colorado to develop lesson plans for high school science students with local schools
- NASA Digital Learning Network (DLN) sessions with CAL scientists to extend educational impact
- National student competition to define and conduct research experiments in space
- Website and smart phone app for CAL simulation
High Definition Video of Atomic Motion Direct to the Web and Class Room
- Experiments are highly visual, featuring high definition video of trapped atoms, which can behave in novel ways depending on the conditions they are exposed to
- Unique opportunities to illustrate to students the basic principles of quantum physics and microgravity
- Facility is automated but can accommodate interaction with astronauts for interactive discussions
