• Reach for the Sky! at Future Tech Now!
  October 1-2, Anaheim, CA
  Melissa Burt helped present Reach for the Sky! with Nisse Lee of the Little Shop of Physics at SACNAS' Future Tech Now!, hands-on demonstrations of new technology and research for a healthier planet. Reach for the Sky! was about the climate system and how climate models work. Students participated in hands-on activities demonstrating the processes behind clouds, hurricanes and other weather phenomena. Participants engaged in activities simulating how cities affect clouds, learned concepts of atmospheric energy transfer and interacted with climate models.
