TMT and all US Extremely Large Telescope Program partners participated in the National Science Teaching Association (NSTA) conference in Denver in March 2024.
The US-ELTP booth showcased an engaging visual and interactive experience highlighting the capabilities and scientific objectives of the collaborative effort between the Thirty Meter Telescope, the Giant Magellan Telescope, and NSF’s NOIRLab. The partners introduced new materials such as model kits, career profiles, and additional STEM education resources to educate visitors about the diverse roles and individuals required to achieve results in STEM.
