Executive Summary
Follow the Photon
Cape May County Technical School developed three model offshore wind energy science projects and career awareness programs. Through the Follow the Photon game, students examine the energy pathway for electricity generated via an offshore wind turbine and compare that energy pathway to electricity generated by a fossil fuel (coal) power plant.
Preparing for a Career in the Offshore Wind Industry is a 10-day project that teaches students about the unique experiences employees have working and living on an offshore wind farm, what training is required for offshore wind turbine workers, and the importance of safety in this industry.
Beach Town, USA: A Town Hall Debate is the third project in the series. Students take part in a mock town hall debate about a proposed offshore wind farm development in their community. They will examine evidence, perform research, and present arguments either for or against the offshore wind farm development from the point of view of various stakeholders.
