TEACHERS OR STUDENTS IN COOS COUNTY CAN REGISTER FOR ANY OR ALL OF THE FOLLOWING OPPORTUNITIES.
**Attending the site visit and/or having an in-class workshop is recommended for students hoping to participate in the Build-a-thon challenge, as these will provide content knowledge to help students prepare as well as opportunities to ask questions of experts in the field.
WEATHERIZATION FIELDTRIP/SITE-VISIT:
In the past students have come to Colebrook (to a building renovation site) and Littleton to experience a blower-door test and energy audit activities to investigate weatherization techniques first-hand. This opportunity can be made available again if there is interest in the region. Ben Southworth, from Garland Mill, and Melissa Elander, from Clean Energy NH, have partnered with NHEEP to help provide equipment and best-practice expertise around high performance buildings. Participants will use thermal cameras and other tools/activities to investigate thermal transfer, and work with other students to explore connections between this work and why it matters for people, planet, and prosperity. If transportation is a barrier, please contact [email protected] to try and work something out.
HEAT TRANSFER AND/OR MODELING CLIMATE SCIENCE – IN-CLASS WORKSHOP WITH NHEEP EDUCATOR:
An energy educator from VEEP/NHEEP can come to your class and do hands-on investigations and demonstrations with your students to help them understand heat transfer and/or figure out the connection between weatherization and climate. Click here to register for an in-class workshop!
WHAT THE WEATHERIZATION?- BUILD-A-THON CHALLENGE:
Small groups of students participate in an engineering design and build challenge to demonstrate the main principles of weatherization. They receive a small building stipend and their design is submitted virtually for judging by a small panel of professionals. The winners receive prizes.
