WeSSA CLEAN CURRENTS PROJECT PLAN

School and Student Selection Phase PHASE 1 • Grade 6 and 9 groups are selected based upon school location, and previous investments made into schools located around each WESSA Education Centre. Criteria = Previously disadvantaged schools that do have IT and Technology capabilities, and an interest in installing and using renewable energy resources. • Grade 6 and 9 Teachers are selected from each school, based on their Science and Mathematics competency background, and their interest in teaching Physics, Renewables and WESSA e-STEAM. • Grade 11 and 12 Students undergo a targeted selection process, focusing on high achieving students in Mathematic, Physics, and Technology. • Grade 11 and 12 Physics, Mathematics and Technology teachers are selected for training. • Work alongside School Principal, School subject teachers and Department of Education to select students

PHASE 2

Curriculum Development and Resource Procurement

• While the school and student selection process is underway, the WESSA Education Team will be developing specific programmes and activities suited to the schools selected for the project. • The programmes will be focused on prevailing weather conditions, locations and access to services, so the programmes can be adapted to each school’s specific needs and infrastructure. • At the same time, the WESSA team will complete all equipment and resource procurement for the programmes and activities, and stationary etc. • The school principals will be included in this process, so assessments can be made of the appropriate needs for each school and student group.
