Educating Cub Scouts At St. Stephens

Project Discovery conducted several educational activities with the Cub Scouts at the St. Stephens Primary School and I was honored to be a part of these activities. One of the activities was that a circuit was used at the school to set up a photovoltaic panel to power an old computer fan. It was intriguing how excited the children were to see this computer fan come back to life. For the most part, I was extremely shy, however, after presenting two PowerPoints and explaining to the Cubs how a solar water heater works, I decided to make the presentation more interactive by asking them questions to see if they now have an understanding of the presentation. I was very impressed by how well they answered the questions as well as how interactive and excited they were. Our interactions showed me how much they had learned from the presentation and how intrigued they were to know more about solar water heaters. Due to this experience with the Cub Scouts, I would jump at any opportunity to be a part of something like this again.
