Seminar: The Renewable Energy Trust's K-12 Initiative
The Renewable Energy Trust's K-12 Initiative works to ensure that renewable energy is incorporated into the curriculum of Massachusetts schools. The Trust has initiated several programs to encourage and make it easy for teachers to teach their students about renewable energy by developing an easily accessible shared body of knowledge on renewable energy education. This year, the Trust awarded three grants for student activities and vocational high school teacher workshops. With these new grants underway, the Trust is confident that we are helping to increase awareness for renewable energy in the classroom. In addition to the Trust's K-12 programs, we recently awarded eight new grants through our Public Awareness Initiative. Our funding supports grassroots organization across the state to increase awareness and support for clean energy.
