Montana has a very active consortia of two year post secondary schools thatare teaching biofuels. The last time that I heard anything about it therewas talk of making the move downward into high schools with the initiative.I would have to look back in some old conference materials to find acontact. However, I'm sure a little internet sleuthing may get you what youneed. Also, here is a post secondary curriculum that could be adapted.
