Workshop: Quantum Effects In Nature
In this Workshop: Quantum Effects In Nature we explore how the rules of the VERY small have direct implications on life, systems, organisms and ecosystems at Mezzacello Urban Farm. We'll take a journey from the ecosystem down down down down to photons and electrons and then to energy to see its the impact on creating a sustainable and safe community through the lens of the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals. When we understand what the goals are, we can start looking at ecosystems and engineered systems with a better outlook.
This is an applied STEM camp that seeks to introduce Quantum Reality only. It is NOT Math intensive, just an exercise in understanding WHY quantum effects are becoming more and more useful in our modern world.
