16. Princeton University: PrincetonCenter for Complex MaterialsPrinceton University Materials Academy (PUMA): Since 2002 PCCM has runPUMA, a full immersion three-week materials science program for Trenton NewJersey minority high school students. Topics include materials science aspects ofresearch topics such as solar cells, solar ovens, sustainable housing, MEMS, artpreservation. The students work in groups and the projects are designed to behands on and inquiry based. Every student presents their results in a finalevening reception attended by their families, friends and Princeton Professors.PCCM also conducts a middle school version of PUMA in partnership withPrinceton University’s Community House and another PUMA session for honorsstudents in a high school materials science course at Middlesex High School.Won a $50,000 nano-mini exhibit from NISE in 2012 and in October 2012 PCCMwill start new public outreach program in partnership with the Princeton Libraryand the New Jersey State Museum in which PCCM scientists will frequentlyinteract with the public and discuss materials science and nanotechnology at ournew exhibit.Other programs include: REU, RET, Partners in science high school summerresearch, PREM partnership with Cal state Northridge, Science and EngineeringExpo at Princeton University, Young Women’s Conference, Regional Science andEngineering expo (over 12000 in attendance), Annual Holiday Science Lecturefor young children and their families (600 in attendance at Lecture Hall),Nanodays event in the Princeton Public Library, over 500 attended in 2012.
17. University of California SantaBarbara: Solar Car WorkshopsThe UCSB MRL solar car workshop is a 2 hour workshop formiddle and high school students that includes apresentation on alternative energy and photovoltaics and ahandson activity in which participants build and race asmall solar car. The presentation is aligned with theCalifornia State Standards for high school (grades 9 to 12)physical science, and provides a hands-on introduction tosolar energy, familiarizes students with research in solarenergy at UCSB, and reinforces the importance of highereducation to first-generation college-going students. Thehistorical strength in energy-related research at UCSB,particularly research for applications in photovoltaics,provides a strong scientific foundation for the outreacheffort. In 2011, 300 middle and high school studentsparticipated in the workshop which was facilitated by UCSBgraduate students and researchers.
