Through an agreement between the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's
(LLNL) Science and Technology Education Program (STEP)
and the San Ramon Valley Unified School District, chemistry teachers from Monte Vista
High School and California High School, learned to grow rapid growth KDP crystals.
These teachers worked under the tutelage of scientist Natalia Zaitseva, the scientist
who developed this fast-growth method, and LLNL chemist Leslie Carman. During the
internship period, these teachers learned how to grow KDP crystals and how to replicate
these procedures using equipment appropriate for the classroom.

"cutting edge science and technology" into the high school chemistry classroom.
