GISP

Education, Energy
This GISP was started through a collaborative effort between emPOWER and EWB. Members of both organizations were solicited for ideas about potential topics and ultimately, seven students set out to revolutionize the teaching of sustainability and renewable energy. Since it has begun, the GISP has undergone several changes. More information about what we're doing can be found on our website, which is linked on the project detail page.
