As part of an Expeditionary Learning Outward Bound Fund for Teachers grant, I will be traveling through the United Kingdom (England, Wales, and Scotland) and France researching wind power and tidal power. First, I will be attending a scientific conference at the Wessex Institute of Technology in New Forest, England. After that, I will be doing field work in Wales, Scotland, and France.

I have three goals for this fieldwork:
1. Learn about current and cutting edge renewable energy technology.
2. Learn about the obstacles, process, and problems, of installing renewable technology.
3. Interview scientists, lawmakers, authors, activists, and the general public to learn about the benefits and drawbacks of installing wind and tidal power facilities.

My fieldwork will go from June 19th to July 2nd. I will be collecting materials, pictures, video, and audio recordings of my researching. I hope to use these materials when teaching Windsor 8’s renewable energy expedition.

Stay Tuned!
