Chandra Supports the U.S. Space & Rocket Center’s SciVis Space Camp Week

Chandra’s Education and Outreach group supported the U.S. Space & Rocket Center’s week long SciVis SPACE CAMP with education and outreach materials 9/18-23/22. Roughly 100 non-visual campers/students participated in the weeklong session. Chandra was able to provide models, tactile plates, sonification, and posters related to astrophysics for the visually impaired to utilize. The 3D printed models, tactile plates, and posters with braille allowed students to feel what a black hole, our galaxy, and supernovas look like. While the sonification helped them “hear” the sounds of the universe.
