Project Title: October Skies Space-Science Project
Synopsis: The University of Wisconsin-Richland will work in cooperation with the Richland Area School District, the Richland County Cooperative Extension, and area organizations to develop a sustainable aerospace outreach and education program. The October Skies project is an innovative program designed to establish a cross-disciplinary continuing education space-science program. The project intends to increase knowledge and awareness about the space-sciences across generations. Family-friendly courses will incorporate space-sciences into courses across the disciplines. Classes and public talks will reach across the disciplines of literature and the arts, physics, chemistry, history, and astronomy. Elements of space-science will be incorporated into the curricula of each presentation so as to increase the number of general citizens who are exposed to the space-sciences and increase their knowledgebase of the space-sciences. An important aim of the project is to increase knowledge and interest in space-science related fields in the K-12 and precollege student population. The October Skies project will build on UW-Richland’s efforts of their already successful precollege program to reach out to student demographics that are underrepresented in the space-science field.
