UCW Campus STEAM Carnival On April 18th, members of UCSP hosted a booth at the Woodlawn Campus of the University of Chicago Charter Schools. There, we presented and engaged with 6th-12th grade students about the various aspects of PULSE-A’s mission, engaging with students to familiarize and inspire them towards considering STEAM education. UChicago Research Symposium Two groups of PULSE-A members presented at the 2024 Undergraduate Research Symposium hosted by the UChicago College Center for Research and Fellowships. Seth Knights, Vincent Redwine, and Graydon Schulze-Kalt, presented on the Optical Payload and the mission ConOps. Logan Hanssler, Juan Prieto, and Alex Dennis, presented on the Optical Ground Station. SEDS-USA Space for All Challenge We are excited to share that PULSE-A won second place in the challenge, earning $7.5k towards R&D for the project. As part of the challenge, UCSP will further our outreach efforts on the south side of Chicago, using our telescope to hold observation nights and host space-related events.
