  Funded by a $3M Department of Defense (DoD) National Defense Education
Program (NDEP) award, we are developing and deploying on a national scale a
follow-up curriculum to "Our Place In Space!", or OPIS!, in which approx. 3,500
survey-level astronomy students are using our global network of "Skynet"
robotic telescopes each year. The goal of this new curriculum, called
"Astrophotography of the Multi-Wavelength Universe!", or MWU!, is to boost the
number of these students who choose STEM majors. One semester in, our
participant program has begun, and participating educators have made good
progress on MWU!'s first two modules. Excellent progress has been made on the
software front, where we have developed new graphing, analysis, and modeling
tools in support of these, and upcoming, modules. On the hardware front,
preparation continues to expand Skynet to include a global network of
intermediate-sized, radio telescopes, capable of exploring the invisible
universe.
