For next week’s Watch & Wonder Highlight, we’re thrilled to feature this episode of Roadtrip Nation: Empowered State. After watching, dive deeper with resources about practical career and education advice from diverse industry leaders and innovators on PBS LearningMedia.
In Power for Good, meet the “Empowered State” roadtrippers: David, Leila, and Julia—three New Yorkers interested in finding their place in the clean energy revolution; then follow along as they explore hydroelectric power’s potential at Niagara Falls and visit Ithaca, one of New York’s greenest cities.
