The ADE Office of Computer Science is excited to
announce we will be partnering with the University of Central Arkansas and the Science
Specialists from the education cooperatives on a Statewide Solar Eclipse Data
Collection project. We will work
statewide to monitor light and temperature levels during the solar eclipse on
April 8th, 2024. High schools who wish to participate will receive all
necessary equipment at an upcoming professional development.
These schools will select two educators (ideally
computer science and science) for a 2-day professional development prior to the
solar eclipse and another 1-day follow-up later in the spring.
We encourage high schools from every county to
participate, regardless of location relative to the path of totality or school
closure. We will provide instructions for schools who wish to participate
even if the school is closed during the eclipse.
Register as soon as possible because participation may be
limited.
If you have any
questions, please contact the ADE Office of Computer Science at CSforAR@ade.arkansas.gov
