About

The SDSU Training Astronomy Research Scholars (STARS) program is a four-week summer program for local community college and high school students to participate in astronomy research led by faculty at San Diego State University. Scholars will gain hands-on experience with programming, the scientific process, and using powerful telescopes.

Scholars will have the opportunity to learn from and engage with professors and students in SDSU's Department of Astronomy, the only stand-alone Department of Astronomy among all California State University campuses. Active areas of research include galaxy formation, binary star systems, supernovae and more.
