Energy is a topic that continues to grow in importance as the global population faces energy challenges and opportunities. Today’s students must learn to apply energy technologies to use energy more efficiently, to lessen or eliminate environmental impacts of energy use, and to find new ways to use our energy sources more wisely and more economically.
The mission of the National Energy Education Development Project is to promote an energy conscious and educated society by creating effective networks of students, educators, business, government and community leaders to design and deliver objective, multi-sided energy education programs.
The NEED program includes engaging curriculum materials, exciting professional development, turnkey assessment and evaluation tools, and high quality teacher support. NEED’s long-term partnership with the U.S. Energy Information Administration provides the data and energy analysis used to update NEED curriculum materials on an annual basis. In addition, the partnership provides educational content for classroom curriculum materials and is the foundation for the EIA Kid’s Page and the popular Energy Ant. NEED believes in recognizing and rewarding excellence, and the Youth Awards Program for Energy Achievement showcases the work of teachers and students dedicated to teaching and learning about energy in all its aspects.
