Our Energy Future (Semester Unknown) IPRO 332: How Many Earths IPRO 332 Poster2 F08 Colburn, Charleen Fujimoto, Haruko Galo, Audrey Guglielmo, Kyle Jackson, Carlissa Jurasits, Joseph Ndoping, Marco Rennard, Maile Reynolds, Crystal Roslund, Richard Szpiech, Paulina Jim Braband Very little unbiased information is available to the general public about energy needs, concerns, and sources. The philosophy behind IPRO 332 is that people should be sufficiently educated about their own energy choices to be able think critically about the corresponding consequences. This IPRO team will build on the work underway since Spring 2007 in developing effective methods for educating high school students about energy and sustainability, expanding our outreach to junior high school students. In addition, the team will: (1) Construct a Teaching Kit to extend the reach of the program beyond the Chicago metropolitan area to provide educators with the materials they will need to present the modules on their own and tailor it to their classrooms; (2) Complete the full-scale launch of the organization’s website, www.howmanyearths.com, to enrich the learning experience, provide a professional contact interface and build a community of engaged teachers and students; (3) Execute a formal marketing plan to build awareness of our efforts, establish our brand image, promote our work, and greatly increase visibility; and (4) Pursue grants and funding with the goal of establishing a viable, long-term, not-for-profit organization.
