Native American Astronomy Immersion Experience
We are now accepting applications for the Native American Astronomy Immersion Experience (NAAIE). This is a five day observation experience open to any Native undergraduate interested in astronomy and/or physics. This mainly an introduction to what astronomy research is about and also introducing a cultural component that connects our lives to what the traditional teachings has to offer about the night sky. A Navajo elder will spend a day with the students telling them our teachings that are in the stars. In this way, the Native student may find that connection that is missing in the normal setting of a classroom.
