Welcome back Class of 2025!

I have limited availability to assist students in CS and Math. 

Simply email me aziccardi@opschools.org and we can arrange schedules and substance.

Congratulations 2024 graduates! Great things are made out of events that change the state of matter. How we tune into them depends on the lenses we use. Shown here are SuperNova 1987a infrared data taken from James Webb Telescope observations I colorized (using G Rauh's technique) to show the Eye Into the Universe. Different infrared wavelengths were captured in the Mid-Infrared (left image) and Near-Infrared (right image). The colorization process illustrates how the same object appears vastly differently looking through different lenses.

 You will be changed by events as you move ahead in time. Use every lens you can. - AZ

Junior Gavin Rauh presents project to Canadian Space Agency's Dr Ouillette

On April 22, 2023,  astro-physicist Dr Ouillette (right) presented the latest news on the James Webb Space Telescope to the Western New York Master teachers. Orchard Park HS junior, Gavin Rauh (left) presented his project on creating images from the publicly available JWST data sets. Adam Ziccardi, Orchard Park HS teacher (center), assisted Gavin and arranged the opportunity.
