$50,000/year budget

A broad base of participation...
• All over the world we find examples of youth sports
leagues being established for a new sport.
• They provide a scaffolded series of increasing
challenges to inspire and motivate the players to build
their skills, as well as a framework of competitions
and opportunities for players to test their mastery of
the game.

Correspondingly, the number and satisfaction of the
participants in astronomy-based science education will
continue to increase if we provide:
(1) open and easy entry level recreational opportunities;
(2) a series of challenging activities with steadily increasing
challenge and reward; and
(3) high level competitive experiences to allow the best, most
motivated students to test their limits and progress toward
rewarding careers in our high-tech culture.

Steadily increasing the level of challenge is
accomplished through carefully designed
experiences and play.
Skilled coaches must guide the practice and
games so that everyone gets the plenty of
opportunity to learn.
Drills must be both engaging and challenging,
with plenty of flexibility to explore various
talents while allowing the less precocious
players to catch up.

• National, Developmental Teams (USA U16 soccer team)
Ø Autonomous observatories à student research projects
• Traveling, Competitive Leagues (summer training camps)
Ø Computer controlled telescopes à peer presentations
• Local, Competitive Leagues (try-out based “club” leagues)
Ø GalileoScopes, smartphones & Web Accessed Observatories
à ownership of pretty pictures
• Recreational Leagues (everyone welcome, city leagues)
Ø Internet and hardcopy resources à classroom activities

• The students who play at low levels with astronomy
will be the base of scientifically literate citizens that
support tomorrow’s world.
Youths who played
in Recreation League sports
are the base for Professional leagues

Good sketching requires accurate rendering of:
Ø shape and proportion (relative height versus width),
Ø separation and orientation,
Ø lightness and darkness, and
Ø color (possibly).
“We need to use all our faculties to the full –
to assimilate with the scientist’s brain,
the poet’s heart, and
the painter’s eyes.”

William Parsons, 3rd Earl of Rosse (1800 – 1867)
oversaw construction in 1845 of Leviathan, a 72-inch
telescope, world's largest until the early 20th century.

Reimagine Education - Virtual Reality and Laboratory SimulationsMichael Jensen

��

Virtual Reality provides new innovative solutions to tackle major challenges in education. An economic challenge for educational institutions and society is for instance that institutions are facing economic pressure as they are looking to increase learning outcomes and motivation by incorporating new digital and interactive technologies to their portfolio of education materials. For instance, the requirement to invest in high cost laboratory equipment is a prohibiting factor to education institutions’ continued growth and their ability to reduce the gap between academic studies and career development. A large number of institutions are removing laboratory experiments when faced with budget limitations, and this has a severe impact on student skill development, and leads to graduates lacking essential skills for work in their intended industries. This challenge is addressed with innovative Virtual Reality solutions by delivering high quality laboratory simulations to students, shown to work as intended by 3rd party researchers (Bonde et al. Nature Biotechnology, 2014). There is a vast untapped market potential in offering solutions that provides a significant financial return on investment while increasing education quality, which can be achieved through innovative and disruptive use of technology, in nearly any educational topic. We present a new platform, allowing anyone to easily build engaging VR education content.

The intersection of AI and pharmaceutical formulation science highlights significant blind spots—systemic gaps in pharmaceutical development, regulatory oversight, quality assurance, and the ethical use of AI—that could jeopardize patient safety and undermine public trust. To move forward effectively, we must address these normalized blind spots, which may arise from outdated assumptions, errors, gaps in previous knowledge, and biases in language or regulatory inertia. This is essential to ensure that AI and formulation science are developed as tools for patient-centered and ethical healthcare.
