Three Birds
Improve Education, Energy Use, and the Environment through creative renewable energy programs at public schools in low-income communities.
According to a McKinsey & Company study from 2009, the United States ranked 24th in science among developed nations. At the same time, the U.S. is the 2nd largest consumer of electricity in the world. John Adams said, “There are two educations. One should teach us how to make a living and the other how to live.” Three Birds seeks to make students in low-income communities more competitive in STEM disciplines, while at the same time teaching them the values of sustainability.
We believe that by addressing these issues simultaneously we can accelerate positive change. We believe our approach addresses issues of educational inequity, workforce development, sustainability, and the advancement of science.
