The University of Tennessee at Martin will establish a mobile classroom about energy energy under a $147,000 USDA grant.
That classroom will visit regional schools, community centers and other organizations to offer static and hands-on lectures that cover energy production and conservation. It’s designed for students of all grade levels as well as the general public.
Professors from UT Martin's Department of Agriculture, Geosciences, and Natural Resources will spearhead the work.
The university's grant, awarded through the Capacity Building Grants for Non-Land-Grant Colleges of Agriculture program, is designed to help bolster research and outreach of agricultural studies.
