Science Teachers Attend Energy Technology Conference


Science teachers Anna Shore and David Barnes recently received a grant from the Governor’s School Foundation to attend the RETECH (Renewable Energy Technology) conference in Washington DC on February 3-5.

“This experience will be especially valuable as we plan our next units in AP Environmental Science,” said David Barnes.

The 3-day conference brought together industry, government, and academic leaders in cutting-edge clean energy technology. The conference featured speakers, panel discussions, and exhibits from across the alternative energy spectrum.

At the conference Anna and Dave were able to catch up with fellow attendee Chad Ellis '99, who is now completing his PhD in Green Chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University.
