5:00 pm: Knowledge Unbounded Astronomy Workshop5:00 pm: Knowledge Unbounded Astronomy Workshop – Have you ever wondered what the universe feels like? Have you ever wanted to touch galaxies, stars, and black holes? Through Knowledge Unbounded Astronomy Workshops led by Pranet Sharma, you’ll get to do just that! These workshops involve an in-depth, extensive—and most importantly, fun! —exploration of the universe and our place within it. We will be discussing topics ranging from the solar system and its mechanics to the detection of dark matter in extragalactic space to black holes!! Taught accessibly, these workshops synthesize innovative tactile models of the cosmos with auditory instruction. They further introduce advanced techniques of astrophysics research for the visually impaired. The workshops will conclude with a discussion of pathways into accessible careers in astrophysics, and an introduction to professional astrophysics work through Pranet’s experience in the field. Show out for a good time (and to get lost among the stars!) Monthly Session Topics

Jump into the chat as the College Spaces team explores topics such as identity, disability, and the various intersections that play a part in everyone’s experiences. Bring a friend, a snack, and a topic or two you’d like to bring to the table and be a part of this evening of informal conversation with friends!.
