We have a number of educational initiatives that work on in the East Tennessee area. This starts with our work in East Tennessee's K-12 schools and higher-ed institutions. Here is a list of what we focus on in schools:
School presentationsDuring the 2006-07 school year, we reached over 700 students through school presentations. 2007-08 saw us increase that to over 1,700 students reached. 2008-09 we reached 3,600 students. In 2009-2010, ETCFC has presented to 5,000 students. Believe it or not, over 10,000 students were reached in the 2010-11 school year! What a success!Our presentations focus on relaying the basics with our current oil predicament (e.g., how much we use, where it comes from), how and what alternatives are in use today and growing, and why reducing our petroleum use and our carbon footprints is important. Grace Loy (865-974-1880; gl.cleanfuels@gmail.com) is our lead for most of our presentations, and she's ready to tackle different presentations for different age groups spanning 1st grade to 12th grade. No matter what the size of the class, she can tailor a presentation to fit your classes needs and time. Pictures from our School Presentations over the last couple of years...
