Green Energy: Powering Education from a STEM Education Methodology
Hughes, Bill
Technology and Engineering Teacher, v71 n2 p23-25 Oct 2011
With the pressing energy needs that the global population is facing, renewable energies are rapidly becoming prominent science and engineering challenges throughout the world. Where will the young scientific and engineering minds come from to meet these demands? With some creative, open-minded thinking, it could be from one's very own classrooms. The author presents information that will provide insight into what is possible when science, technology education, and math teachers form a collaborative effort in addressing renewable energies through researching, designing, engineering, and testing of student devices. The author focuses on what is possible when teachers are willing to cross established curricular borders and help students apply math and science in real-world situations.
