Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network’s Nikolaus Volgenau Visits Anacapa School
January 15, 2016
Following a thread of interest in space, astronomy and space exploration experiments conducted by Anacapa School students in its Near Space Exploration Club several years ago, Nikolaus Volgenau, operations scientist for the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network (LCOGT), was the featured speaker at Anacapa’s Breakfast Club on the morning of Jan. 14, 2016.
Volgenau’s visit to Anacapa offered students another up-close look at astronomical research.
Anacapa’s Breakfast Clubs are daily morning assemblies featuring speakers who come to share their work, projects, passions and stories with Anacapa’s 7-12th grade students.
The program, started early in Anacapa’s history, sets the school apart from other schools in the unique opportunity it offers students to interact with and learn from a wide variety of professionals and field experts.
