RnE2EW Lab Will Visit Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School And Montbello High School
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's RnE2EW Lab will visit two schools in far northeast Denver beginning next week.
The lab will visit the 21st Century High Technology Academy at Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School on Wednesday, Nov. 10 and then make a stop at Montbello High School on Tuesday, Nov. 23.
The lab will accommodate 40 students per hour and will be at both locations for about six hours.
Colorado Gov. Bill Owens launched the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency on Wheels (RnE2EW) program at the State Capitol earlier this year. RnE2EW is the product of a partnership among the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, BP America and the Governor's Office of Energy Management and Conservation. It is designed to bring renewable energy and energy efficiency education programs and information to teachers, students and consumers at schools, special events and public venues. The RnE2EW program also helps students see the importance of mathematics, science and technology education in their day-to-day lives.
The RnE2EW program consists of a customized van and trailer. The van is a teacher resource center, outfitted with electronics, displays and workstations to help teachers develop energy education curriculum. The trailer is a display of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies, including solar, wind and hydrogen power generation.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School is located at 19535 E. 46th Ave. Montbello High School is located at 5000 Crown Blvd. For more information, please contact Montbello High School assistant principal Estevan Duran at 303-375-5739.
