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:

  1. •Our churches

  2. •local community centers

  3. •City Hall & the Mayor’s Office

  4. •community forums on energy
