Course Description
In this small group course (5 students or fewer), kids will learn the fundamentals of renewable energy technologies. In this decade, the most pressing issue is transitioning to a sustainable energy future. This class is geared towards building interest and leadership in renewable energy.
The course covers energy concepts and systems. From coal, natural gas and nuclear power plants to greenhouse gas emissions to renewable energy technologies this course will involve discussions on our choices and their impacts. We will be studying bioenergy, geothermal, solar, wind power, hydropower and ocean power but will focus more on Solar and Wind energy and Energy Storage.
Students will learn the principles behind wind and solar technology and build them at home with the kits supplied. They will get a chance to gather data and construct power curves. Finally, we will discuss results, ways to innovate and what aspect of this technology fascinated them the most.
NOTE: A $50 supplies fee is included in the tuition cost for 1 wind turbine kit (pictured), 1 solar panel and 1 USB lamp. They will be mailed to each student’s home before the first day of class.
