As GET Citians we design cybertools to teach others about issues in green energy technologies that make a difference in our communities and in our world. Our cybertools are meant to be youth-friendly, and incorporate fun and interesting ways to “make a case” for going green while teaching you something about science!
We have presented our work in our classrooms at school and at many other places including workshops and presentations at:
- GET City Green Carnival
- Our churches
- local community centers
- City Hall & the Mayor’s Office
- community forums on energy
- teacher’s meetings and school-wide events
- Michigan Historic Theater
Make a difference! You can present your work, too! Have a look, borrow, or just make your own. Enjoy!
