My Students

My students are growing in their interest and ability to innovate. Although they may be at different stages of innovative thought, my students share at least two traits. My students are amazing people! They are eager to design and build their own unique experiences, and they are interested in learning and applying new tools.

Our charter school has a mixed population of 64% Title I (unduplicated count) students from predominantly urban settings.

Students of all races and a number of ethnic backgrounds work together in a safe and secure environment. Our school demographics are as follows: 3.8% Asian, 31.2% Afro-American, 30.1% Hispanic 5.9% multiracial, and 29.0% White. Students at our school are motivated and enthusiastic when given the opportunity to show their inventiveness and talents.

My Project

This refrigeration system will allow my students to explore how well solar gathering systems work when used to power portable fridge/freezer systems. I would like to be able to offer my students the opportunity to explore this concept with hands-on activities and envision student-designed experiments being completed with this system.

In this age of natural catastrophes, the question of how well off-grid systems actually work often comes up when we are discussing how solar collection and refrigeration systems work.

This would be a real-world tool used to explore the concept in depth.
