Battery 101

Battery 101

Join us for a three-hour virtual workshop to explore the basics of batteries!

During this virtual workshop, educators will learn the foundations of batteries and energy storage. We will discuss the uses of batteries, safety and recycling, as well as the history and future of energy storage. We will also introduce activities for the classroom that engage students in dynamic, hands-on energy-based learning. This workshop includes new material developed by KidWind in addition to some CREATE material.

All teachers who pre-register will receive a $150 kit before the 3 hour virtual training and we will go through how to use these materials in the classroom.

This workshop has self guided and in-person components.

• Workshop cost is $250.
