Abstract
The Pulsar Science Collaboratory (PSC) is a research project engaging high-school students, teachers, and undergraduates in searching for pulsars in data collected with radio telescopes. The goals are to stimulate student interest in STEM careers, to prepare teachers in implementing authentic research with students by training them within a professional scientific community, to promote the student use of information technologies, and to assist the research community through pulsar discoveries. The learning is facilitated through online training, in-person workshops and camps, discussion forums, participation in capstone events, conferences, etc. The PSC is powered by HUBzero, a platform for building science gateways, which combines analytical tools, community management, course components, and collaborations in one ecosystem. Participants gain access to radio astronomy data after the successful completion of training workshops and passing a certification test. The PSC students make authentic research contributions to the scientific community, the field of pulsars, and radio astronomy.
