At SEI, Energy Literacy is a Priority
SEI is committed to increasing the public’s understanding of the broad and complex world of energy systems. That’s why we engage in a range of activities designed to promote energy literacy in a diversity of groups ranging from high school students to policymakers, to the general public, and especially to Georgia Tech students.
General Public
Energy 101 Mini MOOC (Massive Open Online Course): Launched in 2012 and hosted on Coursera, Energy 101 saw over 100,000 registrants before being retired. Its replacement has launched in the form of a series of eight videos that are focused on the energy landscape in the Southeastern U.S.
High School Students
Summer Camp: EPICenter hosts an annual STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) Whistle summer camp for high school students grades 9-12, focused on energy. The popular weeklong camp incorporates educational, hands-on activities and real-world simulations of energy markets to teach critical energy concepts in an engaging and accessible manner.
