Key Learnings

This week, we kicked off our community member interviews and continued our secondary research to provide further insights for the product. Independent of whether people had a negative, positive or neutral experience with an energy project in the past, they loved the tool and all would absolutely use it.

🌱 Key wants emerging so far from our community interviews based on their prior experiences include:

01 🗣 They want more effective communication from developers to feel more in the loop
‍
02 🤔 They want to know where to go to find out more or get answers
‍
03 💥 They want to understand what the impact and benefits will be on their day to day lives

🎤 Key Quotes
‍
"A great idea to have a one stop shop for projects near you"
‍
"It's above and beyond anything I have available to me today"
‍
"If an organisation used this tool I would feel like they cared about my opinion rather than just seeing me as a $ sign"

We will also set up stations across the offices to showcase trends, demos, case studies and new immersive technologies

Read of the Week_{*Add an intro on what the "read of the week" is and why we think this is relevant*}

Check out a green energy article that we found inspiring this week

Learning about renewables made easy: More than 23,000 students visited Italian power plants on school trips throughout 2022

How do we get local communities onboard energy projects in a way that benefits both us and them?

School field trips are an excellent way to get young students excited about a subject, as they break the routine of classroom learning. They improve social interaction among students and with teachers, develop a sense of autonomy, and stimulate curiosity and research through direct experiences and better knowledge of the real world. While this is true for art, science, and nature, it also applies to energy, in particular renewable energy.
