We will continue with our community outreach. We will present our project at the Michigan Science Teacher Association Annual Conference. We will also present at the Fernwood Botanical Gardens and New Buffalo’s City Park. 

 

We will keep using online tools to make our outreach more efficient. In the future, we would like to create an installation video and a customization video for aesthetic heat collectors. We are using major social networking sites like Facebook and Google+ to promote our environmentally friendly ideas. We are brainstorming a mobile application that would allow one to access the average sunlight at their location and determine the benefit of a solar heat collector before construction. We are considering construction of  a game to fly a molecule of air through the 3D rendered solar heat collector without hitting any obstructions to get younger kids involved.

 

We would like to make our site even more accessible so that we can reach out to more people, especially developing nations. Our next goal is to translate our  instructions and our website into different languages so other countries can build solar heat collectors as well. Any additional funding recieved will be used to fund these initiatives, trainings of the public, additional heat collectors, MSTA conference presentation, and furthering electronic improvements.
