4/14/2015 – Tom Schmedake visited J. N. Fries Magnet Middle with two students from the Ph.D. Program in Nanoscale Science, Dawn Marin and Marissa Styron. The 150 6th graders built working dye sensitized solar cells and went outside to test them. Everyone’s cell was successful. Go, Knights!
Thank you Kathleen Epperson (J.N. Fries) for inviting us, and thank you Marissa Hartzler (statewide programs coordinator for the NC Science Festival Invitie-a-Scientist program) for helping to organize this event.
Special thanks to Walter Research Group for providing all of the materials (http://www.waltergroup.org/outreach.html).
