Maui Akamai Program - Industry/Government Big Island Akamai Program - Observatory Mainland Short Course - Vision Science/Astronomy

(1) Short Course - 5 to 6 days at CfAO (2) Internship at University or National Lab - 6 weeks (3) Technical Presentation at CfAO Summer School - 3 days Past Internships Sites: UCSC, UCLA, LLNL, Houston, Indiana, Rochester, UCB, JPL Total ~ 15 students per summer

Preparation for successful research experience Preparation of background material in AO science (vision/astro) Experience in communicating about science Practice in writing science ***new - needs more developing*** Creating a community amongst the students with CfAO Having FUN!!!

Director: Lisa Hunter Education Coordinator: Malika Moutawakkil Instructors: Lynne Raschke (Lead), Adam Burgasser, Seth Pantanelli, Joy Martin, Julianna Lin, and Shelley Wright ==> 3 Astronomers / 2 Vision Science / 1 Engineer -Originally built upon Matthew Barczys, Seth Hornstein, and Lynne Raschke’s design in Now walk through daily schedule of 2004 Courses...

Check into Dorms Welcome & Icebreaker Dinner Together Program Overview - 2 hours Introduction to AO - 1 hour Basics of Optics - 2 hours Heliostat Activity - 2 hours

Optics of the Eye - 1 1/2 hours Optics of Eye Lab - 1 hour Telescopes of the World Lecture - 1/2 hour Lick Observatory Field Trip

Follow your College Brick Road - 1/2 hour Research Practices Discussion - 1 hour Informal Project Discussion hours over lunch Bovine Eye Dissection hours

Engineering Wavefront Sensor Activity - 3 hours Vision Wavefront Sensor Activity - 2 hours Inquiry Starter: Color, Light, & Spectra - 2 hours

Inquiry Continue - 3 hours Exploratorium (San Francisco) - Afternoon/Evening

Retinal Anatomy Inquiry - 3 hours Past Intern Panel - 1 hour Research Practice Activities - 1 1/2 hour Student Surveys ==> Used to evaluate quality of activities for next years planning

Current Possible Changes: - 5 day short course rather than 6 days? ==> what to cut from schedule? - Redesign and modify activities ==> To improve and meld with styles of different instructors - How can we improve on science writing? - Open to completely new activities! ==> Perhaps new Inquiry? Short Course Instructors work together in creating each years curriculum, building upon previous experience

Astronomy: 2 Lectures, 2 Activities Vision Science: 1 Lecture, 4 Activities Engineering: 1 Activity General (vision/astro/eng): 4 Activities Research Knowledge: 5 Activities/Lectures

An exceptional experience that accomplishes these goals: - Provides general background - Forms a community - Gives students confidence in presenting - And it’s FUN! Also, gives instructors superb hands-on experience in designing activities and teaching!
