Webinar: NASA STEM – Wind Energy Design Challenges

  1. Audience: Educators

  2. Grade Levels: K-4, 5-8, 9-12, Informal Education

  3. Subjects: Energy, Engineering Design, Forces and Motion

Wind power is one of the simplest and least expensive sources of renewable energy.

Join the NASA STEM Engagement & Educator Professional Development Collaborative at Texas State University for a free 60-minute webinar as we explore how to teach the practice of using the Engineering Design Process while gaining a better understanding of how wind power may be applied. Engage your students in exploring career opportunities in a variety of renewable energy science and engineering fields.

The webinar will take place on April 7 at 5 p.m. EDT. Register online to participate.

 


 

NASA Spotlite Video Design Challenge: Cloud Detectives

  1. Audience: Educators

  2. Grade Levels: 5-8, 9-12, Informal Education

  3. Subjects: Art, Weather and Climate

Join the NASA eClips team for an overview of the NASA Spotlite Video Design Challenge co-developed with the NASA Earth Science Education Collaborative. NASA Spotlites are 90- to 120-second videos that are written, filmed, edited, and produced by students using the engineering design process. Each video targets a science misconception.

Webinar attendees will focus on cloud misconceptions and learn how to use the GLOBE Cloud Observer app to collect evidence to correct them. Participants also will learn how to use free resources to film, edit, and publish videos.

This interactive session will take place April 5 at 5 p.m. EDT.
