Stress for college students is nothing new and as more kids go to college the number of cases are on the rise. This issue is apparent at colleges across the nation including Arizona State University. StreetWise aims to help students prevent or appropriately deal with stress through interactive lessons teaching students life skills, social skills, and emotional intelligence.<br/>In order to prove the value of our service, StreetWise conducted a survey that asked students about their habits, thoughts on stress, and their future. Students from Arizona State University were surveyed with questions on respondent background, employment, number one stressor, preferred learning method, and topics that students were interested in learning. We found that students’ number one stressor was school but was interested in learning skills that would prepare them for their future after graduation. We used the results to make final decisions so that StreetWise could offer lessons that students would get the most value out of. This led to us conducting a second survey which included mock ups of the website, examples of interactive lesson plans, and an overview of the app. Students from the first survey were surveyed in addition to new respondents. This survey was intended for us to ensure that our service would maintain its value to students with the aesthetic and interface that we envisioned.

Sun Stop Solar, is a solar module development and manufacturing company that utilizes a unique class of materials, perovskites, as the solar cells’ absorption layer. Perovskites are a unique class of compounds with some perovskites being able to absorb photons and excite electrons to create current. Sun Stop Solar plans to initially begin by developing the foundational technological patent for our perovskite-based single-junction solar cells. Sun Stop Solar plans to initially begin by first having a patent set up, then licensing our patent to a manufacturer, and slowly building towards manufacturing our own solar modules.

With the rise of global warming and the growing energy crisis, scientists have pivoted from typical resources to look for new materials and technologies that can aid in advancing renewable energy efforts. Perovskite materials hold the potential for making high-efficiency, low-cost solar cells through solution processing of Earth abundant materials; however, scalability and manufacturability remain a challenge. In order to transition from small scale processing in inert environments via spin coating to higher throughput processing in ambient conditions via blade coating, the fundamentals of perovskite crystallization must be understood. Classical nucleation theory, the LaMer relation, and nonclassical crystallization considerations are discussed to provide a mechanism by which gellan gum, a nontoxic biopolymer from the food industry, has enabled quality halide perovskite thin films. Specifically, this research aims to study the effects of gellan gum in improving perovskite manufacturability by controlling crystallization through indirect alteration of evaporation and supersaturation rates by modifying fluid dynamics and the free energy associated with nucleation and growth. Simply, gellan gum controls crystallization to enable the fabrication of promising scalable PVSK devices in open air.
