Two students from UC Berkeley and one from UC Davis visited Hoover Middle School on Wednesday, March 29 while cycling across the Central Valley. They spoke to Mrs. DeMers class about solar energy and also brought 3D printed miniature solar powered bicycles for the students to assemble and enjoy! The UC students are part of an organization called Cycle for Science.
Cycle for Science brings hand-on, renewable-energy focused science lessons to communities by bicycle. The group's driving mission is fourfold fold: (1) to teach the next generation of U.S. scientists and citizens about renewable energy, climate science, and basic physics, (2) to bring young, diverse scientists into classrooms across the country as real examples of who scientists are and what they do, (3) to empower scientists by connecting them to the communities that they serve, and (4) to leverage science education and adventure.
