Great, free program on solar energy from NEACT Friend Dr. Gonghu Li:
Tentative Schedule of 2014 UNH Solar Energy Workshop
Time & Date: 8:30 am - 5:00 pm, September 20, 2014 (Saturday)
Location: University of New Hampshire (UNH) at Durham
Organizer: Dr. Gonghu Li's Group at UNH Chemistry
Summary
With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Li group at UNH is
organizing a solar energy workshop on September 20, 2014. The workshop is free
and designed for K-12 science teachers, but is open to anyone who is interested
in learning more about solar energy. Workshop participants will gain hands-on
experience in a research lab by working on solar cell and photocatalysis
projects.
The workshop will include a discussion session to explore how solar energy and
sustainability concepts can be integrated in secondary education. Each
participant will receive a free DVD "The Power of the Sun" consisting of two
educational films on solar energy. Through the workshop, we propose to maintain
and enhance current science teachers' knowledge and interest in the field. The
workshop will help to broadly and effectively disseminate sustainability
knowledge to K-12 students in their classrooms.
If you are interested in joining the workshop, please send Gonghu an email
(gonghu.li@xxxxxxx) by August 31, 2014. When available, more information
will be posted on our website http://pubpages.unh.edu/~tgf1/website/index.html
