How do you get high school students excited about alternative sources of energy? Guilford physics teacher Lee Schreiner has done it by giving the students hands on experience with solar power. A ten-thousand dollar grant from the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation has enabled the school to install solar panels capable of generating up to six kilowatt hours of energy a day. Although this isn't enough to lower the school's energy bills, Mr. Schreiner says the project has succeeded in getting the kids to think outside the box. "It's exciting to see what we're generating, what we're doing each day. You know it's a way to kind of get started in the day. How much power are we generating today?" Over two-hundred kids have participated in the solar array program through both the physics and environmental science classes. Mr. Schreiner is hopeful that perhaps someday they will be able to install a wind turbine on the school as well. He says that when kids are given hands on experience with technology they are more likely to use it themselves when they become adults.
