12:26 p.m., Nov. 24, 2008----A group of students from the University of Delaware IGERT Program in Sustainable Energy from Solar Hydrogen visited the Independence School in Pike Creek on Saturday, Nov. 8, to demonstrate the use of solar power.
The eight graduate students who participated--Michael Mayeda, Meghan Schulz, John Clinger, Beth Cheney, Sarah Mastroianni, Elizabeth Huynh, Timothy Miller, Laura Cassels and Daniel Kasper--represent various UD departments in disciplines from engineering to public policy.
With the students at Independence ranging in age from 3 to 14, the graduate students had to be flexible in performing the demos and answering the kids' questions.
The solar hydrogen IGERT program is characterized by a commitment to outreach and an interdisciplinary approach.
“We love doing programs like this,” Cassels said, “because it's so important to educate kids about science.”
“It's great to see them get excited about fuel cells and solar panels,” Mastroianni added.
“More of our education should be interdisciplinary,” Cheney said. “The value of it is obvious--when you have a team with complementary expertise, you can call on each other to fill in where your own knowledge is lacking. That's an important message for kids, too.”
