The College Farm has an immediate opening for one student worker to assist with renewable energy education and outreach. The farm recently launched a new initiative to generate climate-friendly electricity by converting cafeteria waste into energy through microbial fermentation. Alongside this effort, we will teach the benefits of waste to energy systems to K-12 aged youth through virtual and in-person programming. Responsibilities of the student position will include developing and presenting educational videos, assisting with field trip curriculum and other outreach materials. Additionally, the student may assist with collecting food waste from community sources for conversion to energy at the farm. Prior knowledge of biogas and waste to energy systems is not required – full training will be provided. Desired skills & experience: comfortable working with children, public speaking, ability to work independently, attention to detail. Additional useful skills include video production, website development and graphic arts/ digital design. A valid drivers license and ability to drive Dickinson vehicles is a plus.
