In this free workshop you will review energy and electricity basics, design and test solar and battery circuits, explore related KEEP energy education resources, and preview ready-to-use renewable energy curriculum for your classroom.
Participants also learn about the Wisconsin KidWind Challenge that takes place in spring each year and gain tips for coaching student teams through the process of designing and constructing small-scale wind turbines and solar arrays. Educators will leave with the resources and confidence to use renewable energy as a lens into hands-on science, technology, and engineering exploration in the classroom (and you'll get $175 in free gear, too!)
Workshop will run from 9:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. Lunch is provided.
Who should attend: Recommended for teachers of grades 4-12. Teachers who attend will receive a $150 stipend provided by EDP Renewables.
Registration is done through the WI K-12 Energy Education Program website. Number of attendees is limited, so register soon to save your space!
Stipends: Stipends of $150 and over $170 in equipment will be provided to participants.
