Crop forward, climate smart
Let’s inspire the next generation! Whether you’re looking for educational materials for K–12 teachers and 4H leaders, or high-tech apps and tools for the community, the SCAPES project is committed to educating all people about the benefits of co-locating energy and food production. From new technology to advances in agricultural sciences—and even site tours—we’re excited to show the future of sustainability through agrivoltaics research.
Educational Tools
The SCAPES Education Team is developing tools and strategies to promote awareness of and interest in agrivoltaics. We will engage learners of all ages and backgrounds through museum exhibits, college course integration, educational programs, and an agrivoltaics simulation app.
Using Data Effectively
- How well do users grasp key agrivoltaic concepts after using the app?
- Are users engaged when using the app?
- In what way is the user experience different when using the app on a large touchscreen versus using the app on a mobile device?
