The Hawaíi Student Teacher Astronomical Research Program (HI STAR)
Abstract
The HI STAR program targets middle school and high schools students and helps them participate in meaningful astronomical research. Over the program's 13 year lifetime there have been over 30 student attendances from the program to the International Science and Engineering Fair. Students in the program have been about half male and half female. A significant number of the students have been from under-represented demographics, and/or are economically disadvantaged. I will describe the outline of a typical yearly cycle of the program, including examples of the students' exciting research.
