The STAIR Program at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville organized and staffed a booth at the Earth Day Festival in Oak Ridge, TN on Saturday, April 24, 2010. The booth was in collaboration with the American Museum of Science and Energy (AMSE). The activity was organized by Prof. Claudia Rawn of the Materials Science and Engineering Department at UT. The students passed out flyers with copies of their posters that were on exhibit at AMSE for the month of April. They handed out STAIR reusable bags made of environmentally friendly bamboo. They discussed their research activities with visitors to the table. From left to right, Eagan Rawn, Jeff Bunn, Shawn Buckley and Rosemary Le.
