Abstract for the conference program
Two middle school S.T.E.M. teachers will share the work they completed during the summer of 2018 working alongside two engineering grad students and an engineering professor to experiment with creating a home energy management system designed to automatically detect and classify incoming signals in order to keep track of power consumption on a per-device basis by monitoring the current (and voltage) flowing through a single electrical outlet. Participants will get hands-on experience utilizing this Pico Grid system. The knowledge and expertise that these middle school teachers have obtained was utilized to create an energy unit that middle school and high school teachers will find very beneficial. The unit presented covers Georgia DOE curriculum standards in S.T.E.M. (engineering, technology, science, and math).
