Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

Energy literacy is a human right.

Energetic equips communities, especially those on the frontlines of climate impacts, with the knowledge they need to both lead, and benefit from, the energy transition. 

We are making the game free to low income communities and schools. We believe the educational tools for energy literacy must be made with the people who have borne the brunt of the impacts from climate change foremost in mind.

We are a member of the Climate and Resiliency Education Taskforce (cretf.org), founded on the principles of environmental justice and equity: equal access to accurate information is the basis of equity in the energy transition.
