Explorations in Science Research (Culler) An intensive 9-day undergraduate workshop focused on energy and climate, taught by David Culler and Ron Cohen (Berkeley Atmospheric Science Center) 24 undergraduates (18 female) Introduced to many of the ActionWebs and LoCal projects in a hands-on manner: energy efficient buildings, wireless sensor networks, data analysis of buildings https://sites.google.com/site/ucbeis/

7. Berkeley Pioneers in Engineering (PiE) UC Berkeley students mentor local high school students in a robotics competition, organized by PiE eg. a game: –Get as many tennis balls into a certain area of the arena, with an opponent that is trying to do the same thing –Large number of high school women https://pioneers.berkeley.edu/ ActionWebs provided support for 10 high school students Shankar Sastry and Claire Tomlin participated in 2011 (Wozniak) and 2012 (Lawrence Hall of Science)
