Aspen High School senior, Kenton Kowar, and Basalt High School junior, Connor Hoffman, interview theoretical astrophysicist Anna Lisa Varri from the University of Edinburgh. Anna Lisa’s research focuses on the dynamics of stellar systems combining mathematics and astronomy and Kenton’s and Connor’s questions penetrated deeply into her research.

This fall, a group of Aspen High School students led by Mino Khan-Farooqi, Natalie Wesner and Claire Anderson formed a new club, “Girls in STEM,” with the intention of expanding their knowledge of careers in science, tech, engineering and math, in part by talking to women in these fields.
