Re: Energy and Hydropower Workshop for Teachers – July 27, 2010!

The Hydropower Research Foundation, the National Hydropower Association, PennWell Corporation and the NEED Project are pleased to announce the upcoming Energy and Hydropower Workshop for Teachers hosted as part of Hydro Vision International 2010, in Charlotte, North Carolina. Classroom teachers (grades 4-12) will have a unique opportunity to learn information and hands-on activities to teach students about hydropower and water generated electricity. The workshop will be held from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm and attendees will be invited to join the conference for the Keynote session and Exhibit Hall opening after the workshop on Tuesday July 27, 2010 at the Charlotte Convention Center.

Thanks to a grant from the Hydropower Research Foundation the workshop is free to teachers on a first come, first served basis. Breakfast, lunch, parking, and classroom materials and kits are provided.

The NEED Project’s mission is to promote an energy conscious and educated society. NEED is the nation’s leading provider of energy education programs and materials to schools. All NEED learning activities are aligned to state and district science standards. The program will make teaching energy and hydropower exciting and fun as you return to your classroom. Each school will select an appropriate level NEED Hydropower Kit to use in the classroom.

HRF is a non-profit research and educational organization with two principal objectives: to facilitate research and to promote educational opportunities that communicate the value of hydropower to the general public.

Register by July 15, 2010! Confirmation will be sent after your registration is received.
