Abstract:

Despite clean energy alternatives, the United States of America still heavily depends on the use of fossil fuels. Solar energy is a promising energy source that is both an environmentally friendly and sustainable solution. Scholars argue that, for the United States to transition to more solar energy, U.S. citizens must be exposed to more solar energy education. More so, scholars argue that this type of education is valuable at any age group, particularly age groups of early elementary. This capstone project explores solar energy education within the context of Lafayette College through the proposal of a first-year seminar course that extends solar energy education to age groups outside of higher education.
