Summary: Have you ever stood outside on a hot, sunny day, and wondered whether all that sunshine could be used for something? Join us on August 7 for the 2024 Youth Technical Program of the IEEE EMC+SIPI Symposium in Phoenix, AZ, where we will discuss the principles of renewable energy, the photoelectric effect, and their application to photovoltaic technology. Each participant will apply these principles to construct a solar powered car, useful for cruising the streets of Phoenix, and beyond! Open to children 6-16. Younger participants are welcome if accompanied by an older sibling or parent. Sign up via the registration portal.
