The Iowa Energy Center this fall will issue a request for proposals for its new energy education and workforce development grant program. The ideas is to provide students with practical and credible energy education that contributes to the environmental, social and economic well-being of Iowans, center officials said. The center plans to help pay for projects that create energy education content that can be distributed widely in the state. Examples include train-the-trainer workshops and online lessons and courses for students from kindergarten through college. Grants will cover, for example, curriculum development and online adaption, instructional design, supporting workshops and promotional materials, and independent education evaluation.
