Environmentally Protected

Joshua Smith, Cody Soden, Laura Blanco-Berdugo, and Dr. Dane Scott Posing in all their glory.
Congratulations to Honors students Josh Smith and Cody Soden who will be headed to Washington D.C. later this month to make a presentation on a grant they received from the Environmental Protection Agency. This was the only grant of its kind awarded in the state!
Their particular study focused on solar cells. These cell devices convert solar energy into electricity. But they aren't being used used in our everyday lives due to their high cost, availabilty of material, stability, and their overall efficiency.
Way to go guys!
