STEM Superheroes
KidWind is excited to launch a partnership with STEM Superheroes to energize classrooms with the stories and superpowers of Energy Superheroes and hands-on energy activities.
Everyday Superheroes; Women in Energy Careers is the second book in the Everyday Superheroes series, highlighting the colorful careers of women working in energy.
In this book students get to meet thirty-four real-life energy super-heroes. They Install solar panels, dig wells miles into the ground, connect zigzagging power lines, and drive us into the future with battery-powered cars.
Pairing these books with hands-on activities will help students learn how energy is used to light our cities, build our homes, charge our favorite devices, and so much more.
The goal of this initiative is to promote energy literacy and careers to all students, with a particular focus on young women.
Our target for the 2022-23 school year is to support 500 teachers who impact at least 15,000 students.
