“As a clean energy leader, we know the future of our industry depends on a skilled, innovative workforce. Investing in STEM education opens doors to careers that drive American ingenuity and strengthen communities,” said Kathleen Barrón, EVP and Chief Strategy and Growth Officer, Constellation. “By supporting these creative, hands-on energy projects, we’re helping a wide range of students experience the power of STEM in action and inspiring the problem-solvers who will shape the energy systems of tomorrow.”

E2 funding is helping the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign create its ReGen Lab, a cutting-edge learning space where students of all ages can explore how clean energy works. Learners will get hands-on experience with technologies such as solar and wind power, smart electric grids and hydrogen fuel cells, take part in interactive workshops and use virtual reality tools to see energy systems come to life.

“The ReGen Lab reflects the University’s commitment to hands-on, cross-disciplinary education and to preparing the next generation of energy leaders,” said Leon Liebenberg, associate director of the school’s Master of Engineering in Energy Systems Program.” By combining thinking, feeling and doing, we’re sparking curiosity and creativity and inspiring students to imagine and build a cleaner, more sustainable future.”
