Powering Up with Mount Washington Observatory
Mount Washington Observatory is excited to partner with the New Hampshire Energy Education Program (NHEEP) to provide Powering Up with Mount Washington Observatory! A fun and interactive professional development opportunity for educators in our region. On Wednesday, July 8 from 8:30 – 3:00, come join us for a hands-on professional learning workshop at Mount Washington Observatory Offices, North Conway, NH. Register HERE.
NHEEP’s experiential approach will help demonstrate how energy education can empower student agency for real-world impact. We’ll explore interdisciplinary best practices and systems thinking to integrate authentic, youth-led problem-solving into your curriculum. The session will feature examples on how educators can facilitate, rather than direct, student initiatives. Attendees will experience learning from a student perspective, seeing first hand how learning unfolds. Participants will engage with a climate and energy focused anchoring phenomenon and teaching routines to experience the shift from “learning about,” to a more student-driven “figuring out,” and then practice collecting data in order to identify and implement solutions.
