The camp featured classroom lessons on wind and solar power and field trips to hydropower sites like Salmon Creek Dam.

Akira Schaefer and his mom, Lyndsey Schaefer, show off his shoebox home with a working wind turbine and a lego “green roof.”

In this case, the wind came from a fan that turned the turbines’ cardboard blades. Inside the house, a little blue LED glowed.The panels actually worked. Red and black cables carried real solar and wind power into the model. The week-long camp was modeled after a similar camp that happened in Sitka last summer, led by Renewable Energy Alaska Project’s Energy Educator Clay Good. This year, Good brought it to Juneau.
