{Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute} Chemistry, Engineering Design and Additive Manufacturing Technology
This program allows students to learn to use 3D CADD to design and manufacture geometric shapes based on the properties of chemical elements. Students will learn the chemistry of the periodic table of elements and how it is constructed and then discover how to design objects using 3D modelling and printing. In addition, students will research the cultural significance of a variety of elements throughout history and incorporate this into their design work. The program incorporates classroom lectures and hands-on experimentation and learning.
{Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute} CURENT-Smart Grid
This program is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy, CURENT Engineering Research Center! Learn about how the electric grid is being adapted to incorporate renewable sources such as solar arrays and wind turbine farms. Students will use a simulation tool to explore how the grid responds to loss of equipment and extreme power demands when these problems might lead to blackouts. A market experiment on pricing electricity is also part of the program. In addition students will learn about computer networks and cyber security. Students will work with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute faculty and graduate students on hands-on activities and go on a tour of the regional New York power grid manufacturing or control facilities.
{University of California, Los Angeles} Applications of Nanoscience
The Applications of Nanoscience course is designed for high school students to learn the basics of pursing a scientific research project. As a model students will explore few important applications of nanoscience, learn the basics of reviewing existing scientific literature, and go through the process of proposing a research project in pursuit of new scientific data. During this two-week program, students have the unique opportunity to explore questions similar to those currently investigated by the scientific community. The program involves hands-on experiments that combine vigorous scientific methodologies and techniques with projects that are both fun and exciting. Moreover, students will work on a team project to experience the process of proposing a scientific research. At the end of this program, students will better understand what makes nanoscience and nanotechnology one of the most exciting fields of research today, how to read a technical journal article, and the basic skills for proposing a new scientific research project.
