Cosmic Watch Workshop Development
The Cosmic Watch (CW) Workshop is in two parts:
- Day 0 is for construction and testing.
- Day 1 is for trying out use in school.
A center may elect to receive kits to assemble the CW's, in which case they commit to both days. Or the center may request fully constructed kits and only do Day 1.
