In this session we will use parametric equations to build a model for the motion of a Mars rover to show how we can use linear and quadratic equations to model the motion of various objects in the plane. Then we will use the distance formula to create a model to find out how close the rover gets...

This session will focus on a variety alternate energy applications and currently new efforts in sustainability. How does one build a house based on methods used by termites in arid regions? What is the role of black ice in glacier melting? These questions and many other sustainability issues will...

As scientific tools have developed with the ability to ‘see’ at the atomic level, what we know about science is changing. In this session we will explore some of the new application of nano and bio technologies. Discussions will include bioengineering organism’s to respond to light; synthesis and...
