Wind Energy Pictures!!!

First run of our new wind energy curriculum on Wednesday was a huge success!!  

Photo 1: volunteer teachers Keyoor and Sara Jane and field assistant, Patience, facilitate a discussion about natural resources that are non-renewable vs. renewable. 

Photo 2: A student in Sarah, Elizabeth, and Chris' class had seen a wind turbine at an orphanage about 20 km from this village. He was able to draw a 3D picture on the board and promised to take the rest of his class to see it.

Photo 3, 4, & 5: students were pumped about their individual pinwheels and ran outside to test them in the wind. Community members trickled in to check it out.


Photo 6: Even the teachers, led by Kristin, Amanda, and Doreen, built a model wind turbine to show how we can use the power of the wind to "do work," by pulling up a pen.
