College of the Desert - Wind Energy Teacher Workshop

Signups are currently not open for this event. For more information, please email Gabrielle.Temple@canyons.edu, or call 661-362-3024.

We will be holding a teacher workshop with Wind Senator Rich Magner on February 4th, 2012.

From the grain grinders of ancient Holland to the wind farms being constructed all around the US, wind power has captured the public imagination
with its simplicity and elegance. Dig deeper into the wind and introduce your students to the science and technology behind the fastestgrowing energy resource in the world.

This workshop will appeal to 6th-12th grade science and technical education teachers who are interested in wind energy.

Participants will learn the basic principles behind wind energy and how to introduce students to wind energy concepts using standards-based activities in an engaging, hands-on manner.

We will also be introducing teachers to the 2012 KidWind Challenge taking place in Southern California during the Spring of 2012.
