On Sept. 20, 2014, QESST participated in the annual MESA Regional Workshop at Arizona State University’s Chandler Innovation Center. Forty teachers gathered from both the Central and Southern Regions of Arizona for a MESA Advisors Retreat. QESST’s Joe Carpenter and Tiffany Rowlands paired up and presented a lesson on maximizing the power of a solar panel.
Teachers took on the role of students and designed experiments and tested their ideas using content and materials designed by QESST. Additionally, QESST provided feedback and answered questions pertaining to the Solar Car Competition that will take place in Tucson, Arizona in May 2015.
