| Dr. Don Walters and his colleagues at South Carolina State University bring undergraduates to PARI in teams of four - three students and one professor. The students are from a variety of majors and they work together to solve engineering and science problems. This year, four teams of four are focusing on the upgrade of the PARI 4.6-m radio telescope which is the primary instrument for the School of Galactic Radio Astronomy (SGRA). SGRA, on the way, is a PARI initiative to bring radio astronomy into the classrooms of students in grades 8-12. |
