Education plays a vital role in the development of energy professionals for a sustainable society. The Hampton Roads area is the biggest metropolitan region in Virginia, with a population of more than 1.7 million and compromising eight cities. The main goal of the RET Site: Training 干教师 in alternative (biomass, 太阳能, 风, and hydrogen) energy research through hands on laboratory and computational experiences, at 最靠谱的网赌软件 (ODU), is to establish long-term collaborative partnerships among the ODU, public school districts, and local industries in the Hampton Roads area to bring 阀杆 knowledge in the alternative energy areas to K-12 classrooms. The goal of the RET Site will be achieved through research training of 干教师 in a 7-week summer program and post-program translation of 老师' research experiences into classrooms. 干教师 will be engaged in hands on research experience in alternative energy through the cutting-edge research projects. The RET participants will then translate the acquired research experiences and knowledge into their classrooms to encourage students, especially those from the underrepresented groups, to pursue 阀杆 degrees and careers. The RET site serves as a long-term network among mentors, 老师, 工业合作伙伴, which will eventually benefit K-12 students' perception of 阀杆 careers. In addition, graduate students will support K-12 classroom activities and community outreaches.

Over a three year period, this RET Site will host a total of 30 grade 9-12 science 老师 to conduct research in the fields of alternative (biomass, 太阳能, 风, and hydrogen) energy at ODU laboratories during the summer program. Through this RET program, 干教师, especially those from underrepresented groups, will be trained to develop both experimental and computational research skills, while gaining knowledge of advanced science and technology concepts in alternative energy. An Argument-Driven Inquiry (ADI) workshop will be organized to train 老师 to translate RET outcomes into K-12 阀杆 education through enhancement of the current curricula. It is expected that these activities will significantly assist 老师 to encourage more students to pursue 阀杆 degrees and careers by using practical examples. RET 老师 will be exposed and contribute to the advances of cutting-edge research on alternative energy projects mentored by both faculty and industry mentors. The expected tangible outcomes of the project are to bring alternative energy curriculum in the local Hampton region high school classrooms through the trained RET 老师 and involve those 老师 in scientific and educational publications.
