Description

For more than 10 years, the Trane Technologies BTU Crew initiative has brought STEM learning to life in classrooms across the U.S. The initiative teaches students the concepts of energy efficiency and sustainability using their own school building as an educational tool. Designed for easy integration into current science programs, it helps students grow analytical skills with hands-on learning through interactive digital tools, empowering them with new skills and teaching them to become stewards of energy conservation in their communities. Trane's Educator in Residence, Dan Whisler, spent more than 30 years in the classroom as a science teacher and now leads the BTU Crew initiative. He joined Productive Disruption to talk about the project and the growth in STEM programs nationwide.
