Energy4me “Energize Your Classroom” Teacher Workshop
Wednesday, 2 October, 0730–1500
Energy4me, the Society of Petroleum Engineers' (SPE) energy education outreach program, is inviting 100 New Orleans-area science teachers (grades 4-12) to learn how to teach energy topics in a fun and exciting way during ATCE!
Educators will receive comprehensive, objective information about the scientific concepts of energy and its importance, while discovering the world of oil and natural gas exploration and production. A variety of free instructional materials will be available to take back to the classroom.
Activities

A keynote speaker will present the role of energy in our everyday lives, followed by a question and answer period. - Hands-on Classroom Activities
