By attending this fun and interactive workshop…
- Educators that signup will have an opportunity to explore existing, and pilot new, Solar Schoolhouse materials and lessons that can be used at ANY outdoor school.
- Participants will get to make and take their OWN Solar teaching tool coined Solar2Go
- By participating, educators will prequalify their current school to receive a suite of hands-on solar teaching tools and additional training for staff.
Solar Schoolhouse, a program of The Rahus Institute, has worked with the Outdoor Education community since 2003. Thanks to grant funding from All Points North Foundation we’re able to update and re-energize solar energy lessons specifically for the outdoor education environment. We’ll be able to share new narratives/stories exploring human history of using the sun’s energy to heat, cool, and power our homes for 1000s of years and using nature-inspired design (biomicry) to lead low environmental impact lives. We’ll also provide several interactive and fun teaching tools for each participating outdoor education site including: Solar Cell Classroom Set, Solar Fountain Sculpture Sets, Solar Spinart sets, and more.
If you’re not able to attend this pre-conference workshop on Friday, consider attending our Saturday workshop (Living the Solar Life) during the conference, and/or connect with us at the Resource Fair.
