ENERGY-NET (Energy, Environment and Society Learning Network) brings together the Carnegie Museum of Natural History (CMNH) with the learning science and geoscience research strengths at the University of Pittsburgh to create rich opportunities for participatory learning and public education in the arena of energy, the environment, and society using an Earth systems science framework. ENERGY-NET builds upon a long-established teen docent program at CMNH and forms Geoscience Squads comprised of underserved teens. Together, the ENERGY-NET team, including museum staff, experts in informal learning sciences, and geoscientists spanning career stage (undergraduates, graduate students, faculty) provides inquiry-based learning experiences guided by Earth systems science principles. Together, the team works with Geoscience Squads to design "Exploration Stations" for use with CMNH visitors that employ an Earth systems science framework to explore the intersecting lenses of energy, the environment, and society. The goals of ENERGY-NET are to: 1) Develop a rich set of experiential learning activities to enhance public knowledge about the complex dynamics between Energy, Environment, and Society for demonstration at CMNH; 2) Expand diversity in the geosciences workforce by mentoring underrepresented teens, providing authentic learning experiences in earth systems science and life skills, and providing networking opportunities with geoscientists; and 3) Institutionalize ENERGY-NET collaborations among geosciences expert, learning researchers, and museum staff to yield long-term improvements in public geoscience education and geoscience workforce recruiting.

能源、环境和社会学习网络（ENERGY-NET）将卡内基自然历史博物馆（CMNH）与匹兹堡大学的学习科学和地球科学研究优势结合在一起，利用地球系统科学框架，在能源、环境和社会的竞技场中为参与式学习和公共教育创造丰富的机会。 BIGGY-NET建立在CMNH一个长期建立的青少年讲解员项目的基础上，并成立了由服务不足的青少年组成的地球科学小组。 一起，ECORGY-NET团队，包括博物馆工作人员，非正式学习科学专家和跨越职业生涯阶段的地球科学家（本科生，研究生，教师）提供了以地球系统科学原则为指导的探究式学习体验。 该团队与地球科学小组合作，设计“探索站”，供CMNH游客使用，采用地球系统科学框架探索能源，环境和社会的交叉镜头。 该网络的目标是：1）开发一套丰富的体验式学习活动，以提高公众对能源，环境和社会之间的复杂动态的知识，以在CMNH演示; 2）通过指导代表性不足的青少年，提供地球系统科学和生活技能的真实学习经验，并提供与地球科学家建立联系的机会，扩大地球科学劳动力的多样性; 3）将地球科学专家、学习研究人员和博物馆工作人员之间的合作制度化，以长期改善公共地球科学教育和地球科学工作人员的招聘。
