UNC Charlotte Chemistry Professor Tom Schmedake collaborated with a dozen CMS teachers in a seven-month long seminar exploring a wide range of topics in CTI's 2018 seminar The Art and Chemistry of Light.  Dr. Schmedake and the Seminar Fellows will share the many ways they approached this theme as they created innovative new curricula to engage their students in K-12 CMS classrooms. Come be enlightened and inspired by their creative work and enjoy perceiving light in energizing new ways!
