Solar and Wind in the Classroom

NESEA is starting its fall line up of programs and there are some very special offers for New York State educators. In addition to our yearly Junior Solar Sprint educator workshops throughout the region we are now able to offer, through a service contract with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), free workshops on solar and wind energy education.
These workshops will give your students the tools they need to understand solar and wind energy technologies. You are welcome to participate in either or both:
A Solar Kit for the Classroom; created for grades 3rd -12th with a strong focus at the middle school level; or
Wind Wisdom for School Power…Naturally. Appropriate for grades K-6.
At the workshop educators will receive:
engaging, hands-on science and engineering activities that support NYS Learning Standards and Core Curriculum, addressing specific performance indicators; and
a free energy education kit and support materials for your classroom, center, or institution.
