I'm taking the liberty of sharing an email I just received
about the kidwind project. There are still seats available
for a workshop that's to meet on the 24th which I'm
thinking would be of some interest to science teachers in
the immediate area. Contact information is provided in the
email below.

Hello Friends!

Thanks for your application and we look forward to seeing
you at the Wind Energy Workshop at Chewonki on June 24th

A web page on Kidwind has been established with a
tentative agenda, directions and other useful information
about the workshop. Head here to check it out…
http://www.kidwind.org/workshop/ME%20Workshop.html .

We will provide a snack and lunch at this workshop and
parking is free in the Chewonki parking lot.

We have some great guest speakers planned and lots of
hands on activities to take home so we look forward to
your attendance. If for some reason you have had a change
in plans please let us know right away as we have to
adjust numbers for food and materials.

This workshop still has space for 6 more teachers so if
you have any friends that are teachers get them to sign
up! There is still time! If they are not interested in
wind energy tell them there is free food, materials and
Chewonki is in a great location. We are especially
interested in attracting teachers from the Carrabassett
Valley, Stratton, Rangeley, Kingfield area in ME as they
are planning a pretty big wind farm near Sugaloaf and we
want to do a more in-depth wind project near there.

If you have the time or interest you might want to read
some background information on wind before coming. This
is not required but it may make the workshop more useful
to you if you do. You can check out some preliminary
material here…

Well we look forward to seeing you on June 24th and please
contact me if you have any questions at all!
