  We have a number of educational initiatives that work on in the East Tennessee area. This starts with our work in East Tennessee's K-12 schools and higher-ed institutions. Here is a list of what we focus on in schools:
School presentationsDuring the 2006-7 school year, we reached over 700 students through school presentations. 2007-8 saw us increase that to over 1,700 students reached. This year, we are pushing for over 2,000!Our presentations focus on relaying the basics with our current oil predicament (e.g., how much we use, where it comes from), how and what alternatives are in use today and growing, and why reducing our petroleum use and our carbon footprints is important. Patricia Weaver (865-974-1880; [email protected]) is our lead for most of our presentations, and she's ready to tackle different presentations for different age groups spanning 1st grade to 12th grade. No matter what the size of the class, she can tailor a presentation to fit your classes needs and time. Pictures from our School Presentations over the last couple of years...
The "Clean Fuels School" Program The program is focused on getting middle or high school teams, classes or otherwise groups to take the alternative fuels and higher fuel economy message to citizens in their school and local community. It starts with a presentation from the ETCFC and proceeds with forming a plan for how the class or team will
Jennifer Lubke (865-974-1880; [email protected]) is our lead for this project, so call her if you have any questions about your school getting started! The "School-to-School Clean Fuels" ProgramThis program focuses on getting regional college and university classes or teams to take the transportation fuels message to K-12 schools in the county in which they reside (see image below). The number of K-12 students reached and classes presented to is up to the collete students, but the focus is 2-fold: a) get more students learning the basics about oil, alternatives and the choices we all need to make, and b) give the higher-ed students the chance to learn the topic more deeply by presenting the information themselves.We are very interested in establishing relationships with East Tennessee-based universities or colleges to collaborate on this program! Here too we will provide all the necessary resources to the higher-ed student team as is necessary. Jennifer Lubke (865-974-1880; [email protected]) is our lead for this project as well, and she is ready to start helping your team today!
