Nearly 30 teachers from schools across New Mexico came together to grow their skills in makerspace learning and renewable energy education! ⁠
In partnership with New Mexico Tech, the workshop offered hands-on experiences educators can bring directly into their classrooms.⁠
⁠
Teachers explored practical strategies, materials, and inquiry-based activities that help students build, test, and better understand energy concepts. One teacher shared that their students were “amazed and excited” by a simple windmill and energy experiment.⁠
⁠
With support from Sandia National Laboratories, the STEM Innovation Network, and New Mexico Tech, these workshops are expanding access to meaningful, real-world STEM learning while helping strengthen teacher confidence and spark student curiosity across the state!⁠
