A national non-profit is teaching the future of America about the future of renewable energy. 

Michael Arquin with Kid Wind explains they are a non-profit devoted to promoting green energy in classrooms. They connect with teachers by affiliating with school districts and local partners to train teachers. 

As a former teacher, Arquin feels he and his team know how to reach teachers. They focus on the science and engineering aspects of green energy with the teachers and students. 

Arquin notes there are three major barriers to getting these topics into school, and those are training the teachers, giving them time to understand it, and allowing the resources to teach it.

According to Arquin, there are more ways for students to be involved in Kid Wind than just in the classroom. They host STEM competitions called the Kid Wind Challenge.
