Outreach to the university, K-12 students, and public is an important part of the CEI mission. We want to get students interested in STEM careers by connecting them with our graduate fellows who share their enthusiasm for science and engineering.
CEI has developed 27 lesson plans that highlight clean energy science and STEM skills needed for research. These NGSS-aligned lessons for elementary, middle school and high school can be freely downloaded.

Clean Energy Ambassadors Satellites
The Clean Energy Institute has equipped the Science in Actionteam at Gonzaga University with a complete solar car derby setup and desktop display signs for solar technology. Each quarter a new group of students gives back by visiting Spokane area classrooms. This expands our satellite program including the Collins Research Groupat WSU which is ready to visit Pullman area schools.
