CSO participated the Journey through the Universe
program in March 2012. This year, a staff research
scientist Hiroko Shinnaga participated the program. In her
presentation, she talked about a journey from Earth to the various
astronomical objects in our solar system, in the Milky
Way Galaxy, and to astronomical objects further beyond in the classroom
of
wonderful teacher, Corinne Kalani at Waiakeawaena Elementary School
in Hilo, HI. We've reached 27 students throughout the week of
March 1st -- 9th. Jean Kawachika, ex-8th grade teacher, helped
Hiroko for her classroom visit as an ambassador.
