It involves gear ratios and hot glue guns so will clearly take some volunteers to help out with the kids. The race afterward will get the kids outdoors in the parking lot where local vendors can get involved by supplying prizes like gift cards for pizza etc. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have been approached by a local elementary school to develop a very small PV related experiment or system that is appropriate for children aged 9-11. Not having kids myself, I have no idea where to start with this. They are fine with mounting a PV panel on the roof, wall, or ground. They want something interesting and/or interactive that the students can monitor over time.<u></u><u></u></p>
