Atlanta and Boston Schools Tackle an EV Infrastructure Project
Atlanta and Boston Schools Tackle an EV Infrastructure Project
In this project, students from the Boston and Atlanta areas worked together to create a plan for states without effective EV infrastructure. Massachusetts has a strong EV infrastructure, especially around the Boston area, and these students offered insight into what that is like. Students also researched the impact that carbon emissions, mostly from gas vehicles, have on the environment and climate change as a whole. They examined how much of the U.S.'s carbon emissions compare to those of other countries, and how the current energy infrastructure around the world is not equitable or fair for all countries.
Below are some samples from the project. Feel free to use and adapt them to your class's needs:
Students from the Boston and Atlanta area schools really enjoyed interacting with each other. Things started off slow while they got past the normal high school online shenanigans, but they ended up working well together once they got going. I'd recommend setting aside at least a full class period for them to get to know each other and get their shenanigans out!
Parents also commented that this was a great collaborative project for their students and a positive use of technology.
Be sure to work out network firewalls with your school's technology department ahead of time, and confirm that both your students and your partner school's students can join the same Google Meet, Zoom, Teams, etc.
Working with my co-teacher, Ms. Keyser, in a different subject area was rewarding, and getting to know students from a different school was an enlightening experience. Finally, getting students out into their community to explore its EV infrastructure grabbed their interest and made the project more relevant to their lives.
