Teach the concepts of solar power to kids!
Great idea! Let's get our future scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs thinking about solar energy as children, so they can develop new solar power ideas and build new solar companies as adults.
Solar Schoolhouse is doing just that. Founded by Tor Allen, the non-profit (a part of the Rahus Institute) has developed a variety of "energizing" demonstrations and techniques for engaging students and sharing the magic of solar energy.
I encountered Tor at Solar 2008, where I took his workshop on "Energizing Your Skills as a Guest Solar Speaker". While Tor positioned his 4-hour workshop as a way to present to children, I got a lot of ideas about making solar energy present to adult audiences.
