MORGANTOWN -- Hands-on activities such as making an eco-friendly lava lamp taught students how to think outside the box when it comes to energy.
"To help improve the environment and maybe other people can learn from what I learn and I can teach them," says 12-year-old Lydia Johnson.
That's what Energy Day taught more than 400 West Virginia students.
Governor Joe Manchin stopped by to tell students that they have to be smarter when it comes to energy in the future.
"We've taken everything for granted," says Governor Manchin.
"We've been the most wasteful generation nationwide we use more energy than any other nation."
From a solar powered car from the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh, to a demonstration on how to build solar cells, students learned about innovation.
Organizers say they have to get students interested now.
"This is a great way to showcase the college and the research that were doing here while educating the students of West Virginia," says Nicole Riggleman. |
