With our telescopes, we have looked to the reaches of the cosmos and glimpsed its early history. We know about the birth of stars and the formation of galaxies.

As The Den began construction and pre-opening for a second location, Chandler turned to ChatGPT Work to help manage the increasing administrative load. Her small team now saves 10-15 hours a week and prepares licensing and grant applications in hours instead of days, giving them more capacity to grow while staying focused on the families they serve. > “Cha
