Scheduled for Saturday, November 7 at the Homer A. Maxey International Trade Resource Center, Blue Planet Foundation’s inaugural Student Energy Summit provides a forum for Hawaii’s middle and high school students to learn about the state’s current and future energy landscape. With a strong experiential-based learning component, the day-long conference includes learning workshops, innovation contest presentations, and a student program launch.
Oceanit’s Raviraj Pare and Sumil Thapa will put the students’ problem-solving skills into action with a design thinking challenge at the event. The challenge is aimed at encouraging critical thinking through a variety of lenses, including an understanding of economic and policy dynamics, as well as technological and engineering considerations.
Oceanit is proud to be a part of this summit aimed at inspiring a growing group of clean energy leaders who share a common passion for eliminating Hawaii’s dependency on fossil fuels. Our innovations support efforts in the areas of alternative energy and energy reduction to provide smarter, greener technologies for energy efficiency.
