Solar Power 2007 – Workshop Presentations

We held a Solar Schools Workshop at Solar Power 2007. For those of you that were not able to attend, please do take a look at the presentations, and feel free to follow-up with the presenters.

Several states and hundreds of schools around the country have active solar schools programs, which bring a combination of active system installations (grid tied and stand-alone), hands-on solar activities & curriculum, and real-time data monitoring and visualization to the hands of students, teachers, administrators, and the public at large. The intent of these programs is to illuminate the solar possibilities and teaching principals in the classroom, catalyze interest in solar as a technology in the home and community, and provide specific tangible activities to develop the minds of our future thought leaders.

The first portion of this workshop will have a panel of solar schools program implementers offering insight into their programs, and will follow with a Q&A from attendees. The second half of the workshop will be spent learning from experts in energy and environmental education such as The NEED Project, the Rahus Institute, and Solar Energy International. We will spend some time “in the classroom” making connections from active solar installations to standards in the classroom, and then we’ll head outside to put some hands-on solar gadgets into action. After the hands-on action, we’ll come back to the classroom to share resources, and discuss opportunities to bring in depth training and programs to participants’ schools.

A special thanks to our participants, and sponsors:
