Energy Education Kick-off
With the help of our community partners, Lindsay Snoddy and Remy Pangle, we chose to help organize a kick-off event for the greater Charlottesville community to spread awareness about wind and solar energy. The event’s aim is to promote knowledge and excitement for the Wind for Schools project and the installation of a wind turbine and solar panels at Henley Middle School. Our task mainly involves planning the activities of the event and making sure students from all three school levels are addressed as well as the parents, faculty, and the community. The event has an wide spread of attendees as the overseers of the project from the Department of Energy and the Wind for Schools will be present as they provide the grant. We also want to have the other groups from the section involved since they have been working directly with the students at the three different schools. We need to look at past kick off events from the same project and work with our community partners and the school contact to evaluate the activities that we need to have and which would be most effective in achieving a knowledge and excitement for the clean energy project.
