Energy, Environment, and Sustainability

Renewable energy is one of the most critical issues facing our world today. Not coincidentally, it's a major research focus at MIT. Take part in an energy scavenger hunt, learn how we harvest rainwater in Uganda, see demonstrations of solar energy, and learn how magnets and pickles may hold the key to future energy solutions.
