Scientific paper

A collaboration between the Caltech Owens Valley Radio Observatory and the UCSB Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory has been formed to provide an astronomy-related hands-on summer instruction course for elementary-level students in eastern California. We are using the OVRO 40-m telescope to reinforce the LHS GEMS "Messages from Space" curriculum; the control room of the telescope has been remodelled into a classroom, and a user-friendly control and data acquisition system for the 40-m has been developed. After a successful pilot program in 2003 where students spent time searching for SETI signals from nearby bright stars, we are continuing to expand our suite of instructional experiments.
