The week of Aug. 17-21 Shoreline will play host to the National Science Foundation’s Train the Trainer Renewable Energy Biofuels Academy, which will bring instructors from around the nation, including from as far away as the Virgin Islands, to our campus to learn how to bring biofuels education back to their own classrooms. Designed for high school and two-year college science, agriculture and technical education instructors, this hands-on academy will cover the fundamentals of biofuels with an emphasis on fuel production, quality control, engine performance and vehicle emissions.

Shoreline was chosen to host this event as part of winning a National Science Foundation grant. In addition to the week’s host of educational activities, participants will also learn how to turn used cooking oil into biofuel. The resulting fuel will be donated to 21 Acres, a Woodinville-area non profit dedicated to sustainability.
