It's been 3 years since I designed my first solar panel... Solar Cat: The Cutest Solar Panel Ever Made. 🐈‍⬛ ⚡️ An interactive exhibit at @nysci.

The experience changed my career! A thread 🧵

.@kryspersaud used to make toys that teach STEM skills. Now she applies those same design principles to Wildgrid, an educational online marketplace that helps consumers understand and implement solar power and home-electrification projects.

@ClimateGenOrg @MrEdgardoNYC I think art is a great way to communicate climate change bc a picture really does say 1,000 words.

One of my favorite examples of this is a painting I did about the IRA that condenses a huge government document into a simple graphic #TeachClimateChat https://t.co/pO1YLq3tMI
