5/23/11 Class Update

Our group has a bunch of ideas on how to communicate the scientific aspects of wind technology. We have also incorporated a more aesthetic element by introducing a large wind sculpture in the center of our exhibit. Now, we need to find a way to relate our exhibit to the SLO community, find a way to portray wind as renewable resource in a way that touches the user on a personal level. Some ideas we discussed were giving each turbine investigation module a setting, some location within the SLO community where that kind of wind technology could be implemented. We also discussed how to convey the amount of energy that could be produced by wind turbines in a way that the average user, probably coming from a non-scientific background would understand. We will continue discussing this on Wednesday.
