AB  - There is an increasing need for energy literacy among people living in marginalized communities to increase their ability to engage with stakeholders in the energy transition. Researchers used an energy justice framework to increase energy literacy. They identified community resources, engagement best practices, and active learning techniques to support in situ efforts. Information about the effectiveness and impact of interventions can be gathered through field notes, observations, student work, conversation with community leaders and photos. This research gathers information on bridging knowledge gaps for marginalized communities. The goal is increasing their ability to communicate with energy transition stakeholders. Leading to creation of policies, programs and energy systems designs that are more equitable due to having otherwise unavailable information about the unique needs of these communities. This research incorporates social science research methods with engineering teaching methodology and provision of needed community services helps answer research questions and produce information needed for an equitable energy transition. In this research we will highlight how using community partners increases community participation by alleviating some of the issues laid out and magnifies the reach of energy literacy efforts.
