About
Sophie Bartlett is a researcher at the intersection of astronomy education and inquiry-based learning, with a focus on integrating robotic telescopes into school curricula. Her work explores how tools like the Faulkes Telescope Project can transform physics education by enabling students to engage in authentic scientific practices, such as tracking supernovae and constructing Hubble plots. Bartlett’s 2018 paper, “Robotic Telescopes and Student Research in the School Curriculum around the OECD countries,” has garnered 5 citations for its preliminary analysis of how these technologies can foster inquiry-based learning across educational systems. Her related presentation, “Hubble Plots in High School,” highlights her efforts to bridge cutting-edge astrophysics—like Gaia Science Alerts—with classroom resources, allowing students to “Adopt a Supernova.” Though her citation counts are modest, Bartlett’s contributions are notable for their practical impact on science education, offering a model for making complex astronomical concepts accessible and engaging. Her work underscores the potential of robotic telescopes to democratize research, inspiring a new generation of students to explore the universe through hands-on, data-driven learning.
