Every summer the EarthWays Center holds Energy Efficiency teacher workshops across the state to help educators explore the science behind energy and sustainability through hands-on, interactive activities and classroom lessons. Although this year's workshops are virtual, participants will be asked to engage in discussion and hands-on activities using common household materials.
Topics and activities change every year so teachers can attend each summer, but all workshops include:
- Background information about energy topics including forms and sources
- Discussion of energy efficiency and conservation
- Connections between energy, electricity, and natural gas
- Renewable energy sources and solutions
Participants will receive:
- A stipend*
- Digital copies of all lesson activities and energy curriculum
- Energy science toolkit to get started bringing lessons to life in their classroom - these will be sent near the end of summer
*Participants must live or work in either Liberty Utilities or Spire territory to qualify for stipend and energy science toolkit.
