Clean Energy Fellows: Clean Transportation Cohort
This PNW-based cohort is focused on connecting students and building public understanding around the rapidly innovating clean transportation sector. In partnership with national industry leaders and energy education experts, these Clean Energy Fellows will work toward constructing an implementation toolkit for teachers across the country interested in bringing clean transportation concepts into the classroom. Fellows will explore concepts of power grid resiliency, microgrids, vehicle-to-grid potential, load balancing, battery science, vehicle physics, and other area with a focus on identifying issues of justice and equity.
Regional Collaboration and Partnership Development
PNW Clean Energy Fellows will meet consistently with the Fellows cohort to provide peer-to-peer feedback, build content knowledge, and identify equitable pedagogy to guide the development of their new programming. Beginning with the August Leadership Institute, this collaborative approach continues throughout the rest of the cohort’s first year and beyond, through follow-up consultation and participation in a Fellows Leadership Network. Throughout this process, CE will recruit regional industry and community partners to provide expertise on specific topic areas and support Fellows in their delivery. This partnership development will also take place at a community level, with supports in place to build relationships between Fellows and their local utilities, energy-adjacent industries, educational networks, and other community partners.
