Claire Stoermer

It is the 100th anniversary of the 1906 earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area. Stoermer wants to educate her fifth-graders on how to use The National Energy Education Development (NEED) Project Curriculum, which is linked to the state standards, through her "Living in the Danger Zone" program. Ninety-five students will research and collect solar-powered tools and equipment used to sustain life in case of a blackout due to a natural disaster. At the end of mastering the NEED curriculum and the tools, the students will create PSA's on DVDs to be administered to the community. Students will also develop a Solar and Safety Brochure explaining how to use each tool and equipment with step-by-step guidance in case of an emergency. Stoermer resides in Oakland.
