During the spring semester, high school students at KM Global School in Wales, Wisconsin, will take a field trip to the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where they will turn an Easter egg into a little generator.
But the students won’t
exactly be in the lab at the university.
Instead, they’ll log online and participate in a Zoom classroom where they’ll meet with scientists from the UW–Madison Materials Research Science and Engineering Center Education and Outreach Group. The students will build triboelectric nanogenerators using a bouncy ball, an Easter egg, aluminum foil, clear office tape, a few wires, and an LED light.
