Virtual secondary teacher training available for middle and high school teachers.
The curriculum acts as an introduction to learning about engineering design, alternative energy, or physical science concepts. The PowerWheel was designed to be a foundational tool for the instruction of energy and physics.
The course is designed to engage students in learning how decisions are made while considering tradeoffs and stakeholders. Students learn about various forms of energy production and formulate which form of energy best meets the needs for Dakota Brown, a fictitious environmental engineer looking to relocate to a new state. This course acts as an introduction to learning about engineering design, alternative energy, or physical science concepts.
This will be the last training with the PowerWheel as it’s no longer being manufactured.
Sponsored by FWEE (Foundation for Water & Energy Education), NWHA (Northwest Hydroelectric Association), and Northwest RiverPartners, this training is available to teachers at no cost.
All teachers attending the training will receive a free $200 PowerWheel kit and curriculum to teach engineering design, renewable energy and physical science.
The virtual training takes place on November 7, 4:00pm-5:30pm and is open to all secondary teachers in the Pacific Northwest.
