Solar-Active/Schools & Homes Energy Education Project manufacturers a unique, flexible photovoltaic (PV) cell, which has significant output in diffuse light conditions. The cells are used in the manufacture of our solar educational kits and to enrich our education approach. Our solar energy resources were recommended by the Qualifications and Curriculum Development Agency in 2009 as an inspired engineering curriculum activity, to quote- “cross-subject engineering project helped pupils to transfer knowledge and skills between different subject areas [to encourage young people to enter careers in engineering], resulting in a high quality final product”.

I am having my 5th session today of radiotherapy. Side effects are already starting to happen. I am told it will get worse. I have 14 more sessions. I will keep you all informed. David

Not sure this message was posted yesterday. I am having to attend radiotherapy sessions at the Western Park Hospital M-F for next eight weeks. I need to arrive by 3.10pm each day and finish at 4.30pm. Anyone going that way or around at end of day to assist with transpoort would be great. David

Just had my first strawberries from my garden. I have a few extra pumpkin plants I grew from seedlings. Drop by and pick-up and will ask for you to help plant a few in my garden. I have a very sore right shoulder and need someone to set them out in one of my terraces. David

I conducted a one hour PLUGGING INTO THE SUN workshop at the ASE Science Conference in Birmingham on 11/01/2019. Teachers from UK, Greenland, Germany, Denmark, Finland, and Norway attended. The teachers built a solar car. An investigative and problem solving approach is used to achieve outcomes in Science, ICT, Sustainable Development and D&T. The STEM solar resource focused on gaining knowledge through real life application of scientific and mathematical concepts via direct experience with renewable technologies. Too develop skills in Science, Technology and Mathematics. Encouraging careers in engineering and its relationship to issues of climate change.
