Wednesday, Thursday and Friday

Wednesday morning students worked in groups. After lunch Michael Pernice talked about the work going on at Idaho National Lab and answered some good questions about the work.

Thursday morning students worked in groups. At 2:00 the students presented their work and progress. Next week will be the final presentations and they will have to lay out their progress for a more broad audience.

Friday morning we left for Golden Colorado at 7:15. We made it to the NREL (National Renewable Energy Lab) by 10:00 and were given an idea of some of the advances being made at the lab. We then went to Colorado Mills for lunch and also indoor black light mini golf! After mini golf we proceeded to the NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research). Students were given the opportunity to walk around the exhibits in the public portion of NCAR and also hike in the flatirons if they wanted. Some stayed behind and hopefully had some fun in Boulder.
