Green Summer Camp Event
Posted on June 6th, 2010 by Nick
Are you ready for some fun this summer with Sobuka?! That is why we are partnered with the Patriot’s Center this summer 2010.
Patriot’s exciting Going Green with Technology Camp in collaboration with the Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy, & Environmental Justice National Nuclear Security Administration U.S. Department of Agriculture. The focus this summer is on GREEN.
This year, students (6th-12th Grades) will get a chance to do research on Renewable Energy and Environmental Justice with the Department of Energy (DOE). Students will be able to fine tune their research skills and network with DOE representatives for opportunities for internship, summer jobs and obtaining a mentor. Johnson Controls, a company that provides building technology, will train the students to be ambassadors as energy auditors. They will conduct hands-on weatherization audits on a house, school, church and business. Other fun activities will be trips to the Shell Hydrogen Center, Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, DOE Headquarters and host a Mini Going Green with Technology Conference for the community.
Speaking of technology – NAVSEA from the NAVY will give a training session on building a Lego robot, alarm systems, programming rockets and having a “blast off” day. Our partners, Cy Khormaee from Microsoft and Gerard Cooper of IT Computer Wiz Kids will give workshop on social media and building the ultimate gaming computer. You will even get a chance to make your own video and produce your resume in the Professional Development workshop.

If you would like to learn more about what you can do to go green, a nice energy audit will send you in the right direction. The insight you gain from it will give you plenty of ideas for a little green remodeling, so you can become part of the solution. Sign up for an energy audit through Sobuka by typing in your zipcode and selecting contractors in your area.
Great opportunity for kids to learn about energy audits and other green activities.
