Searching for Energy Learning Centers from Michigan back to Washington State

Geo NR Gee · 11-11-12, 05:06 PM

If you know of a cool place to stop along the way, I am just now leaving Flint, Michigan area and headed West. I think there was a energy learning center in the Denver area, but that was back in the 90's when I was there.

I plan on taking I-80 across the until I get to Cheyenne.

Thanks,
Geo

Anybody have any ideas? I did a quick internet search but came up empty. Must not be looking in the right places.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with any places you can just go. All the things I've seen are classes, workshops, etc. that you need to sign up for ahead of time. It would be really cool to go through a class in passive house construction IMO.

About 30 years ago, I visited this place in Portland, OR where there was really cool science setups. I think it was called OMSI. It was like a museum for kids but with really cool science experiments.

I wish there was time for classes, but the weather is making me high tail it back to WA.

Passive house, hmmm, I'll look that up on the internet. Maybe that will stir up some fun. Thanks
