Yesterday Envirolution host our staff and board retreat and were able to learn about our strengths by using the @cliftonstrengths assessment. We made great connections and brainstormed wonderful ideas for Envirolution's future and strategic plan. The day ended with happy hour and a @artsforallnevada painting session. Thank you to all of our staff and partners who helped make this day inspiring and successful! #Envirolution #staff #boardofdirectors #cliftonstrenghts #retreat #inspiring

Over the weekend, Envirolution participated in the Girl Scouts STEMfest, an event designed to showcase different STEM activities and fields. We had so much fun engaging with about 90 girls and their families, discussing, teaching, and engaging in hands-on STEM and energy efficiency activities. Thank you for having us Girl Scouts of the Sierra Nevada. We had a fantastic time showing off the amazing world of STEM! #Envirolution #GirlScoutsofthesierranevada #stemfest #steameducation

Thank you to the @greatbasinoutdoorschool for inviting us to teach students about energy and sustainability during their fall break camp. Students had so much fun learning about different types of energy through fun and interactive activities. Students also had a blast using the Energy Bike to learn about energy transformation and efficiency. We had a great time presenting to the wonderful group of students!

Happy World Teacher's day, everyone! We want to us

Happy World Teacher's day, everyone! We want to use this day as an excuse to tell the world how amazing (and marvelous) our Project ReCharge teachers are. Without passionate and involved Project ReCharge teachers, Envirolution would never achieve its mission and goals. Also, every other teacher out there, we see you, we value you, and you are amazing. Are you celebrating a teacher in your life today? #WorldTeachersDay #Teachers #Envirolution #ProjectReChage

✨Teacher Spotlight✨ Today we are highlighting

✨Teacher Spotlight✨
Today we are highlighting Mickey Smith, another incredible Project ReCharge master teacher. Mickey has an impressive background in science and engineering. She graduated from UNR, with degrees in Civil Engineering and Geological Engineering. Before becoming a teacher, Mickey was the geotechnical engineering manager at James Edward Engineering for 6 years, followed by a principal engineer at Wood Rodgers, Inc., for 7 years.

In her 5th year of teaching at Wooster High School, Mickey has had the opportunity to teach physical science, chemistry, astronomy, honors physics, and design technology. As a teacher, Mickey looks for new and exciting opportunities to enhance her students' learning. She has helped facilitate professional development to newProject ReCharge teachers and helped us fit the curriculum in with current standards. When Mickey is not working, she is often hiking, quilting, and watching nerdy science videos. Mickey is not only a fantastic teacher but an advocate for better teaching practices, hands-on labs, and inquiry-based learning. We are so lucky to have her as a master teacher!

It’s Hispanic Heritage Month! This month is all

It’s Hispanic Heritage Month! This month is all about celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of people whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Our Development Coordinator, Brittney Gutierrez, is of Hispanic descent, specifically from Nicaragua.

“What I would like people to know about Latinos is that that we are all not the same. It can be easy to lump us into the same category, but we all come from different places and have different interests. Some of us are of indigenous descent, some of us of European descent, and others of African descent. Some of us are a mixture of everything. We enjoy rock music and academics. Some of us hate dancing, and, contrary to popular belief, many Latin American countries do not tolerate spicy food. There is so much complexity and diversity within each country and region that it is wildly impossible to lump our experiences and history, and culture into one solitary thing.”

We loved learning about Brittney’s culture and Nicaragua. We are so happy to have you on the Envirolution team. Thanks Brittney!

Envirolution is not able to do our work without the support of donations and foundational grants. Once in a while, we like to highlight them here on social media because everyone needs to know how amazing they are! Today Envirolution would like to thank the John Ben Snow Memorial Trust and @microsoftreno. Without their support, we would not be able to bring free hands-on materials to our teachers!

Sustainability Tip - Upcycle!. Today we are spotlighting our very own curriculum developer- Megan Weinhold. Megan has been directly involved in developing our Project ReCharge curriculum and ensuring that our lessons are fun, hands-on, and meet educational standards.

In this video, Megan shows us how she is being more sustainable by repurposing old fence boards to make a decorative sign that is not only beautiful but sentimental. Thank you Megan for all that you do for Envirolution and our planet! You rock!
