CLASS TESTIMONIALS

A group of people on Zoom in a Voltage Vixens class.

"I really appreciate having this space with just women. It was comfortable, safe and inspiring when I typically work in a space of all men."

- Erin, Voltage Vixens Cohort #1

"Taking small steps is possible, it can feel overwhelming in knowing where to start making a more energy efficient home, but this course laid out areas where I can start."

- Emma, Voltage Vixens Cohort #1

"Krystal made classes interactive instead of being talked at, there was active conversations, and the community who was there was pretty cool too!"

- Jade, Voltage Vixens Cohort #1

ABOUT THE COHORT

We started as a group of women trying to figure out how to electrify our homes (aka switch from gas & oil to electric). What we learned is that it's a complicated and messy process that is much more rewarding when you do it with friends.

We are passionate about providing a safe learning space for women, nonbinary, and trans people.

MEET KRYSTAL, YOUR COURSE GUIDE

Five years ago, I never thought I would be leading an online electrification course! I was a toy designer who was consumed with climate anxiety. I didn't know how to meaningfully address climate change in my every day life. I'm now a leader in the climate space and serial tech entrepreneur. I'm the cofounder & CEO here at Wildgrid. In 2019, I taught myself how to design solar panels and launched Grouphug Solar with the patented Window Solar Charger. My work has been featured on Shark Tank, the Today Show, The Wall Street Journal, and more. I've taught at universities like Parsons, SVA, and NJIT.

I share my story because I don't have a fancy degree or background in climate tech - I taught myself. It took me years to find my "tribe". That's the experience I bring to this cohort. I hope to see you in class!
