Well, there weren’t any animals unless you count the two-legged kind, but the students seemed to enjoy the morning’s experiences. We made a showing and will be invited back next year. We’ve included some photographs as this was a very hands-on and visual event.
NMSEA SunChasers' Trailer Sharing the Glory
Julie gave tours of the working SunChasers trailer. Both solar thermal and solar electric systems were working. |
ACE Solar Exhibits
The young adults from ACE made these displays, including the solar still at the top of the stairway. |
Bulldozer on Display
Some items were for viewing only. Big and impressive...gotta make it electric! |
Virtual Training
Probably wise to begin on the virtual trainer before moving to the Real Deal. |
The Real Deal
Giving it a try. Better than the sandbox version! |
Crane game
We even got the chance to try our hands on the crane controls in a game called WBTP or "water bottle target practice" |
Energy, Minerals, and Natural Resources Department
We should try to get a real turbine blade for viewing next time. |
Electric car and NMSEA Solar Oven
We came as big as we could. We even cooked some pizzas...not on the car hood, but in the oven. |
