 | ICAMP 2012 Summer School on Renewable & Sustainable Energy
8:30 AM - 1:00 PM
The 2012 I-CAMP school in Boulder will focus on solar energy harvesting. As a nearly one-month-long school, it will comprehensively address new and emerging science and technology in the fields of photovoltaics and solar fuels. It will also closely integrate discussions of science and technology with issues of deployment and implementation of renewable energy in society. It will provide both a rich environment for students to delve into these interdisciplinary topics and a synergistic forum for leading researchers to interact in an in-depth and productive way.
The workshop lectures will be held in an interactive style that encourages the synthesis of ideas by the students. Techniques of active learning and peer instruction will be utilized to maximize participation in all discussions.

The exhibit the invisible connectedness of things created by internationally recognized visual artist Kim Abeles and co-presented by the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History and EcoArts Connections will be on display Tuesday Jan. 17 – Monday Oct. 1, 2012.

With a 16’ video wall, photos, paintings, puzzles, sculpture, “smog collector" plates and more, the exhibit explores the effects that transportation choices have on Boulder’s air quality. The project has been created in collaboration with atmospheric scientists, emissions specialists, lichenologists, transportation professionals and middle school students, among others.
