During this week-long program, high school students visit EPP to learn about climate and environmental issues from EPP PhD students. At the end of the program students understand climate change and its relationship to energy production and may pursue a career in energy.

This year, 25 students and 5 teachers joined EPP PhD students to explore the relationship between energy, the environment, and climate change. The program dug into the challenges facing energy fields and technology's role in overcoming them.
