McMaster’s innovative teaching idea, “Capture the Sun – A Bright Idea,” focuses on teaching students the importance and benefits of clean, renewable resources such as solar energy. The Voya grant will provide the school with the resources necessary to develop solar kits for students that will help them develop an understanding of the future benefits of solar energy. This integrated solar curriculum, McMaster believes, will serve as a hands-on introduction into the burgeoning field of STEAM research.
