Alternate Assignment (MS Word)
-
Complete the Participant
Preparation Activity.
-
Identify a place in your community
that would benefit from energy efficiency, energy
conservation, and/or renewable energy. This could
include your home, school, part of your school, city
buildings, churches, youth centers, etc.
Suggestion: use the resources provided on the
conference web site for ideas.
Suggestion: come up with a school-wide
monitoring effort that could lead to positive change
in your school or community (e.g. waste generation,
electricity use, water consumption)
-
Generate a list of everything
needed to do the project (e.g. money, data,
equipment, time, volunteers, etc.). From that list,
identify any related needs (e.g. we need five home
energy evaluations and to get those we need money;
we would like to install a solar panel on the school
and to do that we need the school boards’
permission; etc.)
-
What existing programs could your
efforts be associated with so that you can
contribute to a larger pool of information?
Suggestion: contact your local government,
school district facilities manager, and/or local
electricity provider for ideas.
-
What information could you gather
at the conference that would be beneficial to your
project (e.g., attending specific presentations,
connecting with resource professionals, talking to
students from other schools doing similar work,
etc.).
-
How will this project continue
once you graduate? What needs to be done to ensure
someone else can continue the work you begin?
