The A+ for Energy program has been developed by BP America, Inc. This program will offer grants to teachers in the amount of $5000 or $10,000 to teach about energy...renewable or non-renewable...any topic related to energy including conservation. The proposal is quick and easy, and any preK-12 teacher currently teaching in a public or private school in New Mexico is encouraged to apply.
The NM Museum of Natural History and Science is partnering with BP to get out the word and to help New Mexico teachers to apply and to implement their ideas. We will be offering workshops in Albuquerque on Feb.5, Feb. 6, March 5 and March 6 from 5pm to 8pm (here at the Museum) to help teachers review possible ideas for their classrooms and to help them apply for the funding.
See the attached flyer, or check out the BP website at www.aplusforenergy.com, for more information and to download the grant application.
This is a wonderful opportunity for New Mexico teachers. BP wants to give out a total of $500,000. to preK-12 teachers for classroom, after-school, or summer projects focused on energy. You don't need to come up with new curricula, unless you want to, just innovative ways of teaching already existing activities or topics you normally teach or have always wanted to teach in your classroom.
Contact me if you have questions or if you would like to attend one of the ABQ workshops. (NOTE: There will also be workshops held in Farmington and in Santa Fe...check the website for more information.
