Electrify your classroom with water and energy challenges specific to Arizona! Explore solar energy production by hacking $1 solar garden lights and engage in engineering design challenges that utilize water and energy. Create a model for the Central Arizona Project and see if your team can use solar energy to pump water over a mountain. From the science of energy to the complexities of the watershed we live in, learn about both the energy and water systems and how they are inherently connected together. Leave with $200 worth of equipment and supplies for classroom use and a curriculum unit on water and energy: Water Energy World.
Audience: 4th-12th Grade Teachers

This workshop is part of the STEMAZing Institute. The STEMAZing Project’s philosophy on teacher professional development is simple: It must be hands-on and engaging – putting the educators in the seat of the students to experience STEM lessons firsthand. It must provide the educators with the equipment and supplies they need to implement the lessons and activities in their classrooms the next day if they choose. It must be facilitated by master educators who have themselves been in the classroom.
