  Equipped with notebooks and pens, it was time to get down to business.They made their own wind turbines and tested them out.
  
  "Because we have this large body of teachers.Everytime I go out, I can just help them get to do something a lot more quickly than it would be.I am sure a lot of these teachers are well trained, they could figure it out on their own, but instead of trying to spend a couple of weeks trying to figure it out, we can give them a lot of ideas to teach in the classroom," says Arquin.
  
  A former teacher himself, Arquin had to create his own curriculum to teach about wind power.In his seminars, his grown-up students spend half of the time playing with, understanding and getting a feel for how projects will work for their students.
