Yesterday at the Washington DC Auto Show - together with the United States Department of Energy (DOE) and Discovery Education - we launched the first phase of an online knowledge center designed to teach K-12 students and the public about advanced vehicle technologies, energy efficiency, climate change, alternative fuels, and the science, technology, engineering and math that underlie efficient vehicle development:
FuelOurFutureNow.com features activities for grade levels K-12, as well as high-quality videos, virtual labs, and other interactive resources intended for use from the classroom to the living room. Key goals are to generate excitement about energy-efficient vehicles, and to inspire young men and women to pursue careers in advanced vehicle development.
In addition to the educational content available today at launch, FuelOurFutureNow.com will evolve with updates throughout the life of the Progressive Automotive X PRIZE. And viewers can look forward to following the race series by means of a real-time, telemetry-based online experience.
FuelOurFutureNow.com is the first of three components of the DOE-funded Education Program. Later we will be launching a national high school student contest, and organizing educational events in host cities of the Progressive Automotive X PRIZE race series.
