Star in Your Own Movie!

Our experienced IEI teacher Melinda White, of Kihei Charter School, has just finished her first major movie production!  Of course, she built the movie (it runs five minutes) around her class lesson on Photovoltaic Energy, but she gives a good overview of energy and life on the islands at the same time.  Nice job, Melinda, and Roll Credits!

Here's our IEI team on another visit to Oahu--thanks for program friends like Anna Romano, Charles Wang, and Sam Nichols who can share renewable energy ideas with our workshop teachers.

Cool Example of Teacher Website

Our IEI graduate Carolyn Bush has been generous in sharing her classroom website, which even has a tab for Island Energy Inquiry lessons and activities.  What a nice review for her students and families, and what lucky Hawaii students to have such a creative teacher!  Here's the link:
