RESET

Join us TOMORROW for the sixth annual Spooky Science Expo at the Terrace Lounge! Parties, workshops, fireworks, slime, and more — it’s going to be a day of science fair madness! You don’t want to miss out! Head to triangle.madscience.org/organizations-specialevents-halloween to reserve tickets for the events you want to attend. Happy Halloween!

Our last installment of the Climate mini-series! How have us humans responded to the changes in our environment? One way is engineering and technological innovation, and solar panels are a great example. But how do solar panels work? Most solar panels are made up of photovoltaic solar cells. Check out SciToon’s video on YouTube to learn more.

The next installment in our mini-series on climate! This summary is based on Meg Rosenburg’s YouTube video from 2015. It’s amazing to learn about how the field of climate science has developed. Let’s ask: What history has been made since this video was published? Check out Meg’s video for a more in-depth look.

Today in this week’s mini series on Climate: Contemporary Impact. In honor of Indigenous People’s Day, let’s explore one snapshot of the climate’s current impact on life on Earth in Lousiana. Check out the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee’s website to read the article yourself. Let’s ask: who does climate change affect the most? why?

Our impact on the climate and the climate’s impact on our lives is one of the most important conversations we can have right now. This week, we will explore three snapshots: the history of climate studies, the contemporary impact of the climate on our lives, and the technology we innovate in response. Stay tuned for our mini series on Climate!

In honor of Indigenous People’s Day today, it is a great day to take a moment and learn something new about the Indigenous communities wherever you live. Check out our next post on climate to do just that.

As the fall semester gets underway, we are still looking for more volunteers! Whether you can come in once or weekly, if you are passionate about engaging young students in hands-on STEM activities, we need your help! Check out our website resetonline.org or contact us at [email protected]. You can make a difference!

As the school year gets under way and our RESET programs get moving, we want to say a big welcome back to all our volunteers! Whether you’re returning or brand new, we are so happy to have you!

Congratulations to Gregory Robinson, the program director of the James Webb Telescope until his retirement in July of this year, who was just named the Federal Employee of the Year for his amazing work at NASA! With the Webb program, he led nearly 20,000 people across 29 states and 14 countries. His colleagues celebrate him as a model public servant and leader. The following images are some of the first taken by the telescope, which captures the previously invisible infrared spectrum in full color. Check out the articles on Gregory Robinson and the James Webb Telescope on nasa.gov!

RESET welcomes DMV students back to school! It’s going to be a great fall semester!
