Classes are taught by Appalachian State University faculty and vary from session-to-session. Courses for Spring 2008 Scholar Weekend are:
Digital Photography: Two Days of Fun and Pixels
A picture is worth a thousand words. Learn how to make your digital images speak for themselves. During this hands-on workshop, participants will discuss the history of photojournalism and its role in shaping historical events, learn how to tell a more powerful story with your pictures through composition, lighting, and photo editing, as well as which discover the best camera for the types of photos you wish to take. If you already have a digital camera and small tripod, we invite you to bring it with you. If you do not have access to such equipment, we will make it available. Instructor: Dr. Garner Dewey
Nanotechnology: Experiments & Fundamentals
How tiny is tiny? What can we really accomplish on the nano-scale? This course will introduce you to the exciting possibilities of nanotechnology in the electronic, medical and textile realms. Hands-on experiments will explore nano-Tex fabric as well as data storage on cds and dvds. Students will have the opportunity to operate a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and observe how a focused ion beam can write their name on a single strand of human hair. We'll also look at how nanotechnology can affect renewable energy. Instructor: Dr. Donovan Leonard
