Clean Energy Literacy and Leadership

清洁能源素养和领导力(CELL)项目将制定、实施和评估一项以社区为导向的计划，旨在更好地向年轻人及其家庭宣传清洁能源实践和“绿色”职业机会。目标受众主要是13岁至16岁的非洲裔美国人和拉美裔青年，以及他们来自东旧金山湾区五个服务不足社区的家人。加州大学伯克利分校和许多合作伙伴组织和顾问；东湾绿色走廊伙伴关系，一个由主要学术机构、当地市政当局、劳动力发展和培训组织、能源部运营的国家实验室、学区以及清洁能源和绿色商业从业者组成的联盟，将合作开发和实施该项目。五所高中和一所中学的20名学生每年将参与该项目，在项目持续时间内总计300名学生。社区活动将在放学后、暑期和公共活动中进行。参与者将：(A)学习清洁能源概念；(B)参与清洁能源研究调查，以更好地了解其社区内的能源影响；(C)参与将科学内容与可持续的积极行为变化联系起来的活动；(D)利用信息和通信技术应用来培养知识、沟通和陈述技能；以及(E)参加清洁能源专业人员(初级学位所需职位)的讲座，以了解他们的职业和职业道路。单元教学材料和学习模块、教师指南和数字学习平台(如网站、维基、博客)是主要的项目交付内容，并将公开提供。评估数据将通过调查、数字档案、访谈和构建的反思收集，并将用于监测、评估和告知项目以及项目目标已实现的程度和预期的影响。提高对关键能源相关概念的认识、理解和兴趣是预期的项目成果。

The Clean Energy Literacy and Leadership (CELL) project will develop, implement, and evaluate a community-oriented program designed to better inform youth and their families about clean energy practices and "green" career opportunities. The target audience includes predominately African American and Latino youth, ages 13 to 16, and their families from five underserved communities in the East San Francisco Bay area. The University of California-Berkley and a host of partner organizations and advisors; the East Bay Green Corridor Partnership, a consortium of major academic institutions, local municipalities, work force development and training organizations, a Department of Energy operated national laboratory, school districts, and clean energy and green business practitioners will work collaboratively to develop and implement the project. Twenty students at five high schools and one middle school will participate in the project each year, totaling 300 students over the duration of the project. CELL activities will take place in after school settings, during the summer, and at public events. Participants will: (a) learn clean energy concepts, (b) participate in clean energy research investigations to better understand energy impacts within their communities, (c) engage in activities linking science content to sustainable positive behavioral changes, (d) use ICT applications to build knowledge, communication and presentation skills, and (e) attend presentations by clean energy professionals (entry-level-degree required positions) to learn about their careers and career pathways. CELL instructional materials & learning modules, an Instructor's Guide, and a digital learning platform (e.g., website, wiki, blog) are the primary project deliverables and will be publicly available.Evaluative data will be collected through surveys, digital portfolios, interviews, and constructed reflections and will be used to monitor, assess, and inform the project and the extent to which project goals have been met and the intended impacts achieved. Increased awareness, understanding, and interest in critical energy related concepts are the intended project outcomes.
