Attention area teachers: There is still space available for our workshop coming up at Rassbach Museum and Fulton's Workshop on October 24th. Recommended for teachers of grades 4-12. Workshops are open to formal and non-formal educators including homeschool teachers.
In this workshop you will review energy and electricity basics, design and test blades in a wind tunnel, explore related KEEP energy education resources, and preview ready-to-use renewable energy lessons. We will learn about the Historical Society's "Solar Victory Garden" and hop in our vehicles for a short drive to tour a nearby solar farm.
Participants will also learn about the Wisconsin KidWind Challenge and gain tips for coaching student teams through the process of designing and constructing small-scale turbines or solar devices. 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 some free gear valued over $170, too!)
8am – 1:30pm Interactive Workshop
2pm – 3:30pm Tour of local solar farm
