For our second Field Trip of the year we have been invited to visit a factory that is developing solar panels. Since this device is an integral part of our Greenhouse Project this year, early familiarity with this technology will be advantageous.
What better way is there to start the year than with a walking field trip to acquire the electronic components that we will make good use of? You'll also be aware of its location for your own personal projects.
I have no formal training in electronics or electrical engineering - I'm just really interested in this field. The knowledge and skill I have has been largely acquired over the last few years from learning alongside many talented Georgians and I look forward to expanding my capabilities by working with you this year.
I ask three things of my ACES (for most other things I'm usually flexible):
1. Drop everything, stand, and face any teacher or adult visitor that enters the room,
2. Do not eat in the lab. With permission you may go into the hallway for a quick bite, and,
3. Leave enough time towards the end of class to tidy your working area, putting material back where it belongs.
