This award supports the bi-annual teacher workshop of the Lowell Educational Astronomy Program (LEAP). LEAP is a science enrichment and outreach program for 5th-8th grade Navajo and Hopi children and their teachers. The program pairs astronomers with teachers for one year. The astronomer visits the classroom throughout the year, leading astronomy discussions and hands-on activities in collaboration with the teacher. The astronomer also holds star parties at the school and involves tribal educators in presenting traditional astronomical knowledge. The year-long partnership culminates in a field trip to Lowell Observatory in which the students visit the Observatory's Steele Visitor Center during the day and observe on two research telescopes at night.

该奖项支持洛厄尔教育天文学计划（LEAP）的双年教师研讨会。 LEAP是针对纳瓦霍（Navajo）和霍皮（Hopi）儿童及其老师的科学丰富和外展计划。该计划将天文学家与教师配对一年。天文学家全年访问教室，与老师合作进行天文学讨论和动手活动。天文学家还举行了学校的明星派对，并涉及部落教育者介绍传统的天文知识。为期一年的合作伙伴关系在洛厄尔天文台的一次实地考察中达到顶峰，在该旅行中，学生白天访问天文台的斯蒂尔游客中心，并在晚上观察两次研究望远镜。
