2007 SEET Workshop
The 2007 workshop was held in Golden, Colorado at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) on July 16-July 27, 2007. The workshop focused on content designed to use energy resources more efficiently, including renewable energy. The workshop provided small-group presentations and discussion with NREL research scientists; hands-on, inquiry-based lab experiences; take-home equipment and training; and site visits and field work. The workshop participants produced instructional materials, identified teaching and learning strategies and materials, and established a peer network to share with high school and two-year college educators in an online energy resources clearinghouse.
