Elementary Energy Education
Our aim is to continue a project that was started last year by another group of University of Virginia students that began to raise awareness about these alternative energy sources in the schools of Albemarle County. We will expand the scope of last year’s project by educating the youth at Brownsville Elementary School. Our objectives are to increase knowledge of the wind turbine designs and solar panels through the use of interactive and educational activities. We hope to present information that excites the children’s interests so that they are enthusiastic and curious about alternative energy sources, especially wind and solar power. We will also work with teachers to integrate alternative energy education into their syllabi in order to ensure continuity in their curriculum.
