UK’s CAER empowers student researcher through experiential learning

There is no substitute for hands-on experience. The best way to learn is by doing, and experiential learning opportunities allow just that.   

This is something that Lexington native Kara Bracken, a North Carolina State University chemical engineering major, found at the University of Kentucky Center for Applied Energy Research (CAER) over the summer of 2024.  

Bracken’s summer research was supported by a seed grant from the Materials Science Research Priority Area.
