During the week of July 9, 2018, four K-12 teachers participated in MONT's Solar Cells for Teachers summer Workshop, presented by Dr. Todd Kaiser. Upon workshop completion, the teachers received credit toward MSU's Masters in Science Education program. Teachers use the MMF facility to produce a solar cell that they take home with them. The teachers came from Missouri, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Wisconsin. The last day of the program, teachers completed a short survey about the program. All teachers either somewhat agreed or strongly agreed that: 1. Knew more about how solar cells operate and how they are made after the course 2. Knew more about how to use engineering examples and applications in their classrooms 3. Felt more comfortable using engineering applications and talking about engineering in their classrooms
