Announcements
The main goal of this course is to give you hands-on experience in a simulated work environment. We'll be having lots of projects to choose from in this class. One of them is to assist in providing solar electric power and nighttime solar heating for the greenhouse at Laguna-Acoma High School. Click here for information on the greenhouse project.

We will also be creating a Web site, with the main purpose of providing plans, tips, etc., for others throughout the world who are trying to do things similar to what we are doing. This Web site we create will also serve as a source of reference material for our own use.
