Event Time:9am-Noon
(Light breakfast served)
Location: Henry Sibley High School, 1897 Delaware Ave, Mendota Heights, MN 55118
Join us at our latest Sunrise Program Workshop to learn about the science and technology around solar energy. The energy-based content combined with standards connected classroom activities will make it easy to bring renewable energy to your classroom.
What can you expect?
Materials are geared towards 4th- 12th grade educators. In this hands- on training, educators will be going on a solar scavenger hunt, building solar fountains, and participating in a solar rover distance challenge. During these activities, educators will be learning about solar water pumping, power storage, and the variables that impact the efficiency of solar panels. Teachers do not need any prior knowledge of solar energy. They will learn about how solar power works and how to implement activities in their classroom.
