STEM TO HYDRO DIALOGUE WORKSHOP ON EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES - FEATURING NATIONAL ENERGY EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT
FEBRUARY 11, 2021 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM MT
FEBRUARY 11, 2021 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM MT
Join the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL), and the National Energy Education Development Project (NEED), the Hydropower Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy's Water Power Technologies Office as they take participants on a deeper dive through the educational resources housed on the STEM for Hydropower Portal.
As a participant, you will receive a sneak peak of the outline and ideas behind upcoming hydropower curricula and even provide feedback to help develop it further. From learning about existing high school- and undergraduate-level resources to discussing the increasing need for additional technical materials for graduate students, this is a tremendous opportunity for individuals in the hydropower industry, academia, and students to speak about educational resources that will mold the workforce of tomorrow.

On March 9, 2021, the Hydropower Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy 's (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory are hosting a STEM to Marine Energy Dialogue Workshop, part of the ongoing DOE Water Power Technologies Office’s STEM Dialogue Series, to discuss the Marine Energy Collegiate Competition (MECC). The dialogue will review the structure and requirements of the first two MECCs to gather feedback and lessons learned that can be used to structure future competitions. The MECC offers a valuable opportunity for students, providing real-world experience, education on the benefits and possibilities of marine energy, and a solid foundation for decision making in any field. If you followed or participated in previous MECCs, are interested in learning more about the competition, or would like to share thoughts on what organizers can do to improve the competition, please register for the free workshop.

STEM TO HYDRO DIALOGUE WORKSHOP ON THE HYDROPOWER WORKFORCE ASSESSMENT/JOB & ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
JULY 27, 2021 10 am - 11 am MDT
JULY 27, 2021 10 am - 11 am MDT
Join the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the Hydropower Foundation on July 27 for the Workforce Assessment/Job and Economic Analysis STEM to Hydro Dialogue Workshop.
This free dialogue will identify strategies to address current workforce challenges and provide insight into future competency mapping of STEM skills to hydropower professions.
In addition to career mapping, NREL and the Hydropower Foundation will present the DOE Water Power Technologies Office’s Day in the Life Professional Profiles to apprise participants of the different hydropower workforce pathways. The discussion will help inform what additional career resources may be needed on the Hydropower STEM Portal.
Lastly, this dialogue will explore ways to improve information sharing between academia, trade and professional services, and the private sector to address education, research, and workforce needs. Beyond partnership collaborations and information sharing, the free workshop will also provide an overview of the Jobs and Economic Development Impact Model, a conventional hydropower model that allows users to estimate economic development impacts from traditional hydropower projects. Register for the workshop and learn more about the ongoing STEM Dialogue Series.

Part of the ongoing STEM Dialogue Series, this month's STEM to Hydro Dialogue Workshop engages with industry and academia to discuss a potential competition designed to attract college-level students interest in hydropower.
As a participant of this free workshop, taking place on August 12, 2021 at 3 p.m. MT, you will help us determine the need for and possible structure of a collegiate hydropower competition.
Inspired by the U.S. Department of Energy's Water Power Technologies Office's (WPTO) Marine Energy Collegiate Competition, the competition provides students with real-world experience, valuable education on the possibilities of hydropower, and a solid foundation for decision making when establishing their career paths.
With DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory, join the Hydropower Foundation and lend your expertise to the DOE Water Power Technologies Office's efforts to develop a strong hydropower workforce in the United States.
