The non-profit initiative will distribute a 57 min. educational version of Point of No Return for K-12 students, along with inquiry-based STEM enrichment curriculum, hands-on classroom activities and builder kits focused on renewable energy, sustainability and climate solutions, for upper elementary (3rd-5th), middle school, and high school classrooms across the US and ultimately, internationally. As students tackle design challenges such as engineering a solar powered machine, building a battery, or designing the energy plan for a sustainable city, they will experiment and tinker, try and fail, and imagine creative sustainable solutions. The curriculum, created by our partner Solar One, is tied to Next Generation Science Standards and based in the four C’s of 21st century learning- Critical Thinking, Creativity, Collaboration, and Communication – key elements to the success of Solar Impulse’s pioneering zero-fuel flight around the world.

Thanks to grant funding from the Bank of America Charitable Foundation and donations we are able to offer this program at no cost to schools that serve students who traditionally have not had access to this type of educational enrichment.  If your school is a Title 1 school and or serves 40% or more low income students (who qualify for free/reduced-price lunch) then you may be eligible to receive the program at no cost.
