Teresa Sosa is a community educator located in Phoenix, Arizona. Her Learning Experience used the Xplorlabs Thermal Runaway pathway to raise awareness about fire risks associated with battery overcharing along with possible prevention strategies. Through hands-on and discussion-based activities, her students explored real-life examples of how improper battery use can lead to accidents, and applied their science-based knowledge to promote everyday safety and community well-being.
