Advancing education resources
Energy education extends along a spectrum from home to elementary and high school classrooms, into post-secondary education, through community organizations and permeates a wide world of workplaces. The value of a good energy education proves itself everywhere.
ANEEE categorizes energy lessons from the K-12, CTE and University sectors so Alaskans can better understand what lessons are available, and how they can be accessed. Not all energy education opportunities fit into neat categories.
Examples of offerings include a building energy efficiency class that a school principal may be interested in to a public lecture on in-river hydrokinetic technology to a summer camp focused on wind energy. ANEEE works to identify and make available all of these types of opportunities to the wider network it is building.
ANEEE was conceived in conjunction with the Alaska Center for Energy and Power (ACEP) and is funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR), which also supports REAP’s efforts to expand the understanding of energy through Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).
