Junior Solar Sprint Teacher Workshop & Car Kit
Event Date: 02/25/2010
Join us on Thursday, February 25, 2010 from 4:00 pm until 8:30 pm for the Junior Solar Sprint workshop.
The Junior Solar Sprint is a challenging hands-on classroom activity for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. The students design, build, and race model solar power cars while in the process learning about solar energy. In its seventh year on the Cape and Islands we plan to make this the biggest and best Junior Solar Sprint yet!
This workshop is being held at the Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve’s Boat House, located at 149 Waquoit Highway, Waquoit.
For a small $10 registration fee, the workshop will give you an introduction of the JSS program with sample curricula and educational materials to energize your students. We will offer strategic planning on how to implement the solar sprint lessons into your classroom or after school programs, and aid in the building of model sprint cars. For an additional $40, you get to take home the car that you built (the solar panel and motor can be re-used for experiments and building additional cars for the competition) A light dinner will be provided at the workshop.
