UC Davis Energy and Efficiency Institute partners with Rio Tierra Junior High School to teach beyond campus
150 eighth grade students given the opportunity to learn about air quality and build air purifiers
"Science teachers at Rio Tierra Junior High School and researchers at the UC Davis Energy and Efficiency Institute partnered together to deliver a two-day lesson on air quality to about 150 eighth-grade students, according to an article published by UC Davis.
'This partnership came about after talking with my friend, Theresa Pistochini, regarding concerns I had with ventilation in my classroom,' science teacher at Rio Tierra Junior High School Amber Mitchell said via email. 'I decided to pursue this partnership because I have been following Theresa’s research for years, and consider her an expert source for help and information.'
Pistochini is the Co-Director of Engineering at the UC Davis Energy Efficiency Institute and the lead for this project."
