Team Excel
Read full descriptionHide full description
The Team Excel app uses a “reverse fantasy” sports model where instead of pro athletes earning points for things such touchdowns and tackles, student teams earn points and compete based on metrics such as academics, attendance, community service hours, and other success metrics. By gamifying student success metrics, Team Excel leverages the power of teamwork and competition to increase motivation and improve outcomes.
Project Clean Grid
This app acts as a forecast for electricity grid emissions, helping users reduce their carbon footprint. By adjusting when electricity is used, users can significantly lower associated emissions based on location and season.
- Grid emissions forecast
- Real-time emissions data
- Shift electricity usage
- Reduce carbon footprint
- Location-based emissions
- Conserve during high emissions

Project Clean Grid helps you reduce carbon emissions from your electricity use. Think of this app like a weather forecast for grid emissions. By shifting when you use electricity – ex: doing your laundry, charging your EV, or charging and discharging your home battery – you can reduce the associated emissions by anywhere from 5% to 95% depending on your location and the season. Project Clean Grid provides real-time and forecast grid emissions data in easy to understand visuals to help you find the cleanest times to use electricity, as well as times to conserve when emissions are high. Greener means cleaner. The My Places page allows you to load favorite locations to see how emissions vary from one location to the next.
