CEI Outreach Activities
K-12 Outreach on Carbon Capture: Chalk from CO2
Co-located with the Carbon Management Technology Conference 2013 in Alexandria, VA on Oct. 20, 2013, this hands-on workshop featured Tony Butterfield from the University of Utah presenting teaching modules on carbon capture designed for high school teachers to help their students understand more about carbon capture. The modules, 鈥溾�� and 鈥�,鈥� were developed by Alissa Park, Columbia University, in association with the NSF-funded Research Coordination Network on Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (RCN-CCUS).
Prof. Butterfield also presented the modules for over 45 high school students at the outreach session at AIChE鈥檚 2013 Annual Meeting in San Francisco, CA.
