REFLECTION QUESTION
Health and Education Host a Film Screening

Thank you for raising awareness of women's and gender equality issues. What is the next step to actually address this disparity?

It is important to address the issue and take action on multiple fronts as a way to support policies, promote education and awareness, increase representation in gender roles and recognize and address different identities. This can help foster an inclusive world and work towards having equal gender equalities.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Electricity Learn More about Wave and Tidal Energy

What did you learn about wave and tidal energy? How do they compare to other energy sources?

Elizabeth Macedo Abando 3/17/2024 9:32 PM

Wave and tidal energy offer significant potential for generating clean and renewable electricity. When comparing to other energy sources, tidal energy is highly predictable and is more consistent than solar and wind energy.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Electricity Learn More about Micro Wind

Micro turbines can be placed on large structures to take advantage of stronger, steadier breezes. The Eiffel Tower now sports vertical axis turbines that produce electricity for use on site. Where could micro turbines potentially be installed in your city?

Micro wind turbines are a good option for generating renewable electricity, especially in area with favorable wind resources and large spaces for installation. In terms of my city, there is not a lot of space, nor is it windy enough for turbines to be installed, but other cities that have strong winds should definitely install some!
