BILLINGS, MONTANA WORKSHOP HIGHLIGHTS
ConocoPhillips and the National Energy Education Development (NEED) Project continued their effort to educate teachers about energy at their workshop in Billings, Mont. on September 23. Thirty science and math teachers attended the event to learn more about energy and methods of incorporating energy awareness in the classroom.
NEED’s energy education director Keith Etheridge taught teachers about the science behind energy through interactive activities. At the end of the workshop each teacher left with more than $500 worth of energy curriculum materials, science experiments and student energy information books to improve their students’ energy knowledge.
Clint Young, manager of finance and public affairs for ConocoPhillips, attended the workshop and spoke with teachers about current energy topics, including energy security and climate change.
