Hot Spot Investigators

["In this hands-on STEM activity","students become environmental scientists","exploring how solar radiation impacts their local surroundings. Through data collection","analysis","and design","they will better understand how surface properties influence heat absorption and propose innovative","real-world cooling solutions for urban environments. As an optional extension","students could share their findings in an eCard","or test their results by building and placing solar ovens in optimal locations."]

Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage

["What if you could vacuum carbon right out of the air? Turn pollution into products? Make carbon dioxide the hero in this story? That's not just your imagination running wild","that's carbon capture.\n\nCarbon dioxide is a gas that gets released into the atmosphere and directly leads to global warming","which negatively impacts our environment. Carbon Capture","Utilization","and Storage (CCUS) could be part of the solution to climate change if we learn how to trap it","use it","and store it."]
