The BHS Green Academy, one of six academic programs within the school, aims to prepare students not only for college but for careers in the sustainability industry. There are about 290 students in the program, and much of the learning in is hands-on: When they learn about wind power, they have a contest, building small-scale turbines; when they learn about watersheds, they take a field trip to Strawberry Creek; when they learn about green architecture, they take a walking tour of green buildings in Berkeley, including the Brower Center. The program culminates with students getting an internship or mentoring experience at companies that include the Rising Sun Energy Center and AC Transit.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:16.5pt'><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>You can see the original article at: <o:p></o:p></span></font></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:16.5pt'><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><a href="http://www.diablomag.com/Diablo-Magazine/March-2012/Eco-Awards-Education-Edition/">http://www.diablomag.com/Diablo-Magazine/March-2012/Eco-Awards-Education-Edition/</a><o:p></o:p></span></font></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:16.5pt'><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Glenn Wolkenfeld<o:p></o:p></span></font></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Science Teacher<o:p></o:p></span></font></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Co-Lead Teacher, BHS Green Academy,<o:p></o:p></span></font></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Coordinator, New Energy Academy/H.E.A.T.
