The goal is for students to foster connections – with nature, with themselves, and with each other – and to enable students to turn climate anxiety into climate action.

Here is a breakdown of the summit’s goals:

• The first goal is to show students what sustainability looks like through a variety of careers and experiences (from naturalists with live birds, to engineers with electric vehicles, to place-based learning in our 181-acre school forest, and many more). The second goal is to empower students to take action themselves through civics projects, citizen science research, and peer presentations in a “science fair” model.
• All of our PK-8 students will be participating, plus middle- and high-school students from over 19 other schools and districts in both NY and CT!
• The evening event (4:30-7 PM) invites the public to take part in the conversation and learn from our students! This event features all PK-12 long-term research projects and student presentations, student booths based on their civic action projects, the student Keynote Presentation, food trucks, hands-on workshops and activities, and more!

What is a Repair Café? They are FREE, volunteer-run, community-centered workshops for community members to bring consumer products in need of repair. Working together, volunteer fixers have been able to repair broken or faulty products like toasters, lamps, clothes, bikes, and more, keeping them out of landfills.

You can sign up for to assist at the Repair Café here. Repair experts, fixers, menders, tinkerers, restorers, greeters, organizers and friendly faces wanted! If you can, or you know someone who can fix mechanical or electrical items, basic computer fixes, bike repair, wood items or small furniture, textile or jewelry repairs please contact us by sharing your information.

Remember, you don’t have to be an expert or professional fixer since you can be paired with an experienced fixer.

If you plan on bringing an item for repair, you share your information here.

The Office of General Services and the New York Power Authority are excited to announce the New York State Electric Vehicle Fleet Event this spring on Tuesday, May 21, from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm!

This year, the showcase will include a range of light-duty electric vehicles on the Empire State Plaza Concourse and a small group of medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicles on the Plaza.

This event will allow Fleet managers, sustainability coordinators, elected officials, and members of the public the opportunity to learn how we are working to meet Governor Hochul’s goal to transition all light-duty fleet vehicles to zero-emission vehicles by 2035 and all medium- and heavy-duty fleet vehicles by 2040.

In addition to the vendors showcasing electric vehicles and charging equipment, we will have experts in attendance ready to answer questions and plan to host a couple of panels throughout the day.

Panels & presentations in Meeting Room 6:

• 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. – EV Charging
• 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. – Converting Your Fleet
• 12:00 p.m. – 12:30 p.m. – Buying An EV

Energy storage projects, like other energy projects, can experience long delays and be assessed high costs when seeking to interconnect with the electricity grid. But unlike other energy projects, energy storage has unique operational attributes that are often not well accounted for in current interconnection processes, and this can lead to storage projects facing undue burdens that may ultimately cause them to become uneconomical. This issue is widely recognized as a significant barrier to states meeting their clean energy and decarbonization goals.

In this webinar, policy experts from national laboratories examine the problem and discuss new initiatives designed to address interconnection challenges. Diane Baldwin (Pacific Northwest National Laboratory) and Michael Ropp (Sandia National Laboratory) will provide insight on the work being done by the U.S. Department of Energy’s “Interconnection Innovation e-Xchange” (i2X) program, and Will McNamara (Sandia National Laboratory) will discuss interconnection policy recommendations being developed by the newly formed National Consortium for the Advancement of Long Duration Energy Storage. Charlie Vartanian (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) will share technical considerations and possible solutions to the challenges of interconnecting energy storage to the grid.

Speakers:

• Dr. Imre Gyuk, U.S. Department of Energy Office of Electricity
• Diane Baldwin, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
• Michael Ropp, Sandia National Laboratory
• Will McNamara, Sandia National Laboratory
• Charlie Vartanian, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
• Todd Olinsky-Paul, Clean Energy States Alliance (moderator)

This webinar is a presentation of the Energy Storage Technology Advancement Partnership (ESTAP). ESTAP is a federal-state funding and information sharing project that aims to accelerate the deployment of electrical energy storage technologies in the U.S. ESTAP is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Electricity, managed by Sandia National Laboratories, and administered by the Clean Energy States Alliance.
