SUCCEED

SUCCEED—the Summer Center for Climate, Energy, and Environmental Decision Making—was founded in 2011 by Carnegie Mellon University’s Center for Climate and Energy Decision Making. Now supported by Engineering and Public Policy, the Scott Institute for Energy Innovation, and NSF PIRE, SUCCEED includes two programs: a free 3-day summer program for rising 10th - 12th grade students and a 2-day workshop for teachers.
