(Workshops in Tech Savvy)
What is Tech Savvy
Tech Savvy is a day-long STEM career workshop for girls in grades 6-9 from the surrounding area of Ohio University's campus. Sponsored by the local American Association of University Women chapter, Tech Savvy allows participating girls to choose hands-on laboratory experiences in faculty member's labs.
Explore the Life Machine That Fixes Solar Energy
Topic
Learning Objectives
- Understand chloroplasts are tiny but abundant organelles that fix solar energy
- Know chloroplasts are green because of the chlorophyll pigment that harvest photons
- Understand that the genome is just like a book containing A, T, C, and G letters and the number of these 4 letters determines the size of the genome
- Know that each chloroplast has a genome, which is much smaller than the nuclear genome
From Solar Energy to Seeds

Learning Objectives
- Know how microscope works
- Understand chloroplasts are tiny but abundant organelles that fix solar energy
