Please note: Due to popular demand, we are no longer accepting applications to SEE for Summer 2023.

 

During this JHU three-credit course, you will learn about new sustainable energy technologies.

Dates

July 3 – 28, 2023

Projects

Fossil fuels will eventually run out, and before they do, burning them for energy production will continue to contribute to our warming planet.  Where does all the energy that we use go, and how can we use less energy?

Recognizing that even if we reduce our energy use, we will still need to make changes to energy production, can we design and implement new sustainable energy technologies that are resilient, economical, and can be incorporated into the existing power grid?

To answer these questions and find ways to reduce energy usage, we must examine how we currently are using energy and study the science and engineering concepts behind our energy production and distribution methods, as well as the role policy plays in our ability to implement change.

Homework

You should expect up to two hours of homework each evening.

Eligibility

Grade and age requirements 

You must be a current high school student or recent high school graduate.  Our typical student is a rising junior (~35%) or senior (~65%) in high school.
