About the Bootcamp

Space Weather REDI summer Bootcamp included two weeks of space weather tutorials led by the NASA GSFC scientists:

The first week acquainted participants with the applications of space weather. These lectures will provided a basic knowledge of space weather and forecasting, without going into detailed physics. This week was geared at an undergraduate level, but was also be appropriate for others interested in broadening their space weather knowledge - graduate students, scientists, engineers, educators, mission operators, and competitive high school students.

To learn more about the first week of the bootcamp see Bootcamp agenda and Tutorials

The second week was split into two tracks and offered:

• Track A: Focused space weather forecaster training (hands-on). Appropriate for those who will be doing space weather forecasting.

• Track B: Research Topic Discussions/How To Use CCMC Tools for Research. Appropriate for research undergraduate and graduate students interested in learning more about how to use tools and models at the CCMC in their research.

  Bootcamp offered opportunities for students to discuss their research topics and consult CCMC staff scientists and guest NASA GSFC HSD scientists.

Summer Space Weather REDI internship 2017

Several undergraduate students wishing to become space weather forecasters are taking part in the summer SW REDI internship at the CCMC.
