A fine time was had in Boulder! For video of the presentations, SSP members may visit the Facebook group.
Join the elegant, formal dinner at The Hotel Boulderado (optional, separate ticket required), or the casual gathering / meetup with food and beverages at the home of Prof. Doug Duncan ’68 … or both! Later, head to a brewpub or Fiske Planetarium for their public show Black Holes: The Other Side of Infinity.
… a full day and evening of family-friendly activities and events, morning ’til way after dark!
Enjoy presentations, panel discussions, and demonstrations. Meet and mingle with some of the smartest teens on the planet, the participants of SSP ’18. Learn about the new SSP in Biochemistry from someone who experienced the inaugural program last summer at Purdue. Reminisce over treasurers from the SSP archives. Tour the Universe from state-of-the-art Fiske Planetarium. Visit the campus observatory, with its twin half-meter telescopes, classroom, computer lab, and TA office. Look through the old astrograph from Thacher School. And much more! Read about it all here.
The Annual Membership Meeting with the Board of Trustees will be followed by brunch and more conversations with the faculty and Class of ’18. If you have time before your flight, hike in the beautiful Flatirons just outside of town.
