If you have a kid who's interested in Astrophysics here is a 3 credit on-line class offered by Rutgers University. Rutgers has been very open to working with HEROES students (go to
www.HEROESgifted.com) and has even created a way to make it easier for our kids to register for classes and has been very willing to help match up kids with mentors. This professor has run a summer class for high school students and their teachers for years on this topic, is conducting a lab on this at the upcoming HEROES conference and is now offering it on-line.
Here's the basic info:
Class: Research Methods in X-ray Astro-Physics (01:750:120)
Prerequistes: Algebra and trigonometry
Professor: Matilsky, who is the instructor for the Astro-physics lab at the HEROES conference.
