Two professional development seminars for Coachella Valley middle and high school teachers were held on July 29 to provide an introduction to renewable energy technologies and present ways the technologies can be used to motivate and teach students fundamental science, engineering, and math lessons. 30 teachers participated in the training conducted by the DSN at the Desert Energy Enterprise Center.
Outcomes:
Teachers from the region gained a better understanding of what clean energy sectors are growing, how the technologies work, and how they can integrate the underlying science and math into their classrooms while motivating students to extend this learning to other science subjects.
