Go Green Using Sustainability Engineering In A Middle School Summer Program

Year: 2020

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The Go Green Institute is an interdisciplinary collaboration of engineers, scientists, and educators serving fourteen middle-school school districts in southern New York.The institute's aim is to increase students' understanding of science concepts and skills related to environmental sustainability and broaden students' perceptions of engineering, science, and math careers through a range of exciting activities that students do not experience in school.The resulting 10day learning experience integrates (1) Biology/Life Science, (2) Chemistry/Physical Science, and (3) Math/Engineering by framing instruction and activities around climate change and sustainability issues.Students participated in advanced coursework in the form of interactive content sessions, fieldtrips and guest speakers, and experiments/team projects.
