Teaching Green Technology in Your School

What you should know before you try to create a Wind, Solar, Hydro, Biofuels, Energy Auditing and other “green stuff” curriculum

Are you thinking of integrating a green technology component within your curriculum? Or perhaps you recently began teaching on the subject and it has not been as successful as you would like. Are you being pressured from all sides to create a green energy program, or an oil/gas program – and can't tell fact from fiction. Will there really be jobs out there for our graduates? What skills do we need to teach to help our students land those jobs?

Join author and speaker Jay Warmke for this one-day seminar on what a green technology curriculum might include, various tools available to facilitate the teaching of such a diverse program, and common mistakes made when programs try to incorporate “green” into their curriculum.

Then, sit back and learn the basics of wind and solar principles. We will walk through a very basic overview of the concepts within this field, giving you a taste of what your students might encounter. We will also (hopefully) enter into a lively discussion on the direction our energy future will take and how best to prepare graduates to compete in that future.
