E2 Energy to Educate

Overview

Through the E2 Energy to Educate grant program, Constellation offers students from sixth grade through college opportunities to address the energy challenges of today and tomorrow. Grant funds support projects designed to enhance students’ understanding of science and technology and inspire them to think differently about energy.

Access in Energy
How can we empower and engage underrepresented groups in the energy sector, and inspire students from all socioeconomic groups to pursue STEM and energy careers? Projects showcase effective strategies to support increased access to good-paying careers the energy industry, and to deliver clean energy solutions to underserved and underrepresented communities. Projects may also address how they can advance environmental justice and economic inclusion in the energy transition.
•    Energy Careers and Workforce Development
•    Energy Projects for Underserved Communities
•    Environmental Justice

Sustainability Amidst Growing Energy Needs
As global energy consumption rises, the quest for sustainable solutions becomes increasingly critical. Innovations in electrification, transportation and artificial intelligence are poised to revolutionize energy usage in homes and communities, and can help address climate change. Projects show the enhancement of existing products or new technologies for a cleaner energy future, and how we can pave the way for a more sustainable world through decarbonization and energy-efficient choices.  Projects may also showcase artificial intelligence as a pivotal ally in both pioneering new advancements and refining existing technologies.
•    Electric Vehicles
•    Clean Energy Choices
•    Carbon Capture
•    Smart Home Technology Adoption Programs
•    Smart Home Energy Improvements
•    Energy Efficiency
•    Home Energy Data
•    Artificial Intelligence Aided Technology

Nuclear Technology & Clean Energy
How can we harness the power of nuclear technology and other forms of zero carbon generation to address the climate crisis, using innovative and cutting-edge solutions, such as advanced nuclear, zero carbon energy generation systems, and smart energy storage devices? Projects should show how they can create positive impacts for society, economy, and environment, and how they can collaborate with various stakeholders, such as businesses, schools, governments, and communities, to scale up their solutions and pilot programs.
•    Low Carbon Energy, Clean Energy Sources & Technologies
•    Energy Advocacy, Sustainability
