Teacher Field Trip to Fenner Windfarm

NEED is now in its third year in partnership with New York State. In 2004, NEED was chosen by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) through a competitive process, to deliver energy efficiency, sustainable design, renewable energy, and hydrogen education programming to students and teachers statewide. The New York Energy Smart Students Program is funded by the New York Energy $mart^SM Program.

Exciting program improvements are being implemented during the 2006-2007 school year. After many months of development, a full slate of new half-day and full-day workshops are offered across the state.  The workshops are delivered by a team of 19 veteran teachers and community educators from across New York State, who were selected from a host of qualified applicants to be the New York Energy Smart Students (ESS) Program’s first Energy Educators.  This past July, the entire team of Energy Educators attended a comprehensive week-long training in program content and delivery. The Energy Institute in Albany was coordinated by a team from National Energy Education Development Project (NEED) and NYSERDA.
