Arkansas Arts Academy -

On Monday, a group of AAA High School EAST and Science students traveled to the totality zone as part of the collaborative project with the University of Central Arkansas's physics department and ADE's Computer Science department to use a custom made sensor to collect data during the solar eclipse. Students will be comparing the data they collected in the totality zone to the second sensor that was collecting data from the roof of our high school campus and uploading our results to the project. After receiving the data from the other participating schools our students will be creating a GIS map to visually show the impact of the eclipse around the state.

ESPN visited some of our sweet kindergarten friends today!
