"What are those THINGS?" is an educational activity being developed at West Virginia University and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory that seeks to give middle school students the opportunity to learn about the scientific process and gain scientific literacy through a positive, authentic experience doing astronomy. The goal is to increase the number of students who are interested in pursuing STEM careers. Students use archival multi-wavelength data and their own observations with the Skynet robotic telescopes (operated by UNC-Chapel Hill) to study a galaxy. This webpage serves as a repository for archival data and educational materials for this activity.
