Resources
As you consider whether you can take on this challenge, take advantage of the collection of resources on the OSLN Design Challenge Webpage. Here you will find websites, articles, and videos about all things energy. These resources can help you and your students discover innovations in energy as you start to think about how you can reimagine energy production and/or consumption to improve your community?
From there, connect your students to energy professionals in your community to help students better understand and visualize how energy affects their lives. Below is a collection of energy and entrepreneurship experts that can virtually connect with your students. If you are interested in connecting with these experts, please contact OSLN@battelle.org.
