    • Science

To know of hydropower and to love it go hand-in-hand. Today, the challenge is that less and less people actually know much about hydropower at all. The Foundation for Water & Energy Education, or FWEE for short, is tackling that challenge head on by bringing hydro to the classroom in creative and exciting ways. Sheila Corson, serving as acting the acting board chair, joins Dam! to share the important mission of FWEE, how they educate educators, the numerous ways students can get engaged and identify potential career paths, and the power of the PowerWheel and its ability to bring joy and excitement to people of all ages. Listen on, and you'll also hear how you can get involved and help bring hydro education to your community!
