GROWTH Astronomy School

The NSF-funded GROWTH project officially ended in October 2020. The GROWTH Astronomy School, which was part of the educational and training activities of GROWTH is now also discontinued.

The GROWTH astronomy school is a 3-day workshop for advanced undergraduates and graduate students focused on teaching the next generation of astronomers the skills and techniques for multiwavelength follow-up of transient astronomical sources. Sessions are splits by wavelength range and include an introductory lecture followed by an interactive workshop that walks students through data analysis modules with mock or real datasets. Lectures and programming exercises from each school are made available online to all students and educators.
