Description & capabilities
CSH hub supporting faculty and staff STEM outreach, cross-department collaboration, and field-instrumentation pedagogy. Public contact Bernhard Beck-Winchatz coordinates STEM Center activities including high-altitude ballooning programs, NASA/space-science education threads, and undergraduate field instrumentation projects documented in Academic High-Altitude Conference proceedings.
Access status
- Level: yellow (
Negotiated Access) - Rationale: STEM Center Hub coordinates outreach and field-instrumentation projects; ballooning and NASA/space-science programs require faculty sponsorship and project affiliation.
