Celebrating an Outstanding Educator!🤩

We’re excited to share a special pre-announcement recognizing longtime NEED and Energizing Student Potential (ESP) IL teacher, Vida Cantieri, for being selected as a 2026 recipient of the National Association of Geoscience Teachers Outstanding Earth Science Teacher Award for Illinois and the North Central Section! 🌎

Vida’s dedication to engaging students in hands-on, real-world energy and Earth science learning truly embodies the spirit of this prestigious recognition. Through her work with NEED and ESP, she has inspired countless students to explore energy concepts, think critically, and connect classroom learning to the world around them.

We’re proud to celebrate this incredible achievement and look forward to the official announcement!
