You may know that the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater is home to an observatory, giving people a look at the visual Universe. Many people don’t know, though, that Wisconsin played a major role in the construction and management of one of the world’s largest and most interesting telescopes.
The Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center (WIPAC) is pleased to announce a student internship program for high school students in the Madison, Wisconsin area. WIPAC interns will work with astrophysicists who support projects like the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole and HAWC, the High Altitude Water Cherenkov in the mountains of Mexico.

Large physics experiments are often developed in remote areas: the vast plains of Argentina, a mountainside in Mexico, or deep in the ice at the South Pole in Antarctica. Constructing them is a formidable challenge, and so is collecting and analyzing the data they generate.
Physicists from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and Ohio State University have teamed up to take on a different type of challenge—big data. With funding from the National Science Foundation's BIGDATA initiative, they will explore ways to better analyze, sort, and transmit data from the Askaryan Radio Array at the South Pole in Antarctica and from the Hydrogen Structure Array in Xinjiang, China.
