New this year for Discovery Day – Morningstar solar home tour

solar houseHave you heard about the MorningStar Solar Home on east campus? It is a net-zero home, producing as much (and even more) energy than it consumes. You will have the opportunity to take a tour of this house on Discovery Day, as Dr. Lisa Brown explains its use in sustainable housing education efforts and research.

Also offered, “Turning Darkness into Light: Sight Loss Support Group of Central PA.” The Sight-Loss Support Group staff will present information on the various stages of sight loss and showcase seeing-eye puppies that are being trained for life as Dog Guides. Workshop participants will have the opportunity to experience what a low vision person sees by wearing specially-designed glasses that simulate different types of sight loss.

You can sign up for these and other classes in TechSmart at https://techsmart.libraries.psu.edu/cgi-bin/techSmart.cgi?caseAct=1Submitted by the Discovery Day Project Team
