ENERGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT WORKSHOP
October 1st. and 2nd.
Project Lead The Way in Michigan will be offering an intensive two-day workshop which will allow you to teach the new PLTW Gateway to Technology (GTT) nine week module in “Energy and the Environment.”
This is the recently developed nine-week module that has been piloted nationally. In this module the students investigate the importance of energy in our lives and the impact that using energy has on the environment. The unit will address strategies to improve energy efficiency and address waste management.
Teachers must complete these two days training workshops to utilize the curriculum. The workshop will be held on the campus of Eastern Michigan University and the cost for this workshop will be $400, including food and material. Rooms will be available at an additional cost.
