EAE for Use Case Scenario

An open-ended sandbox challenge to propose a completely unique, novel scenario or use case for the Energy Access Explorer (EAE).

Abstract and goal

This is an open-ended sandbox challenge for students to push the boundaries of the Energy Access Explorer. Teams are invited to think outside the box and propose a completely unique, novel scenario or use case for EAE that goes beyond its current traditional applications.

Expected outcomes

• The Scenario Pitch: A compelling presentation defining the problem, the target audience, and why this new EAE application is vital.
• Data Prototype / Workflow: A demonstration of how EAE's existing data layers (or integrated external open data) can be combined to solve this new problem.
• Impact Roadmap: A brief strategy on how policymakers or NGOs could implement your unique EAE scenario in the real world.

Required knowledge

Helpful experiences

• Familiarity with digital platforms, energy planning, and multi-criteria decision analysis.
