Testimonials
Just want to say “thank you” for the large effort everyone involved did to make these events happen! Thank you for giving my son this opportunity to expand his knowledge base in STEM with hands-on activities he would otherwise not receive due to being a virtual learner and not in an actual setting. You are godsends!
I absolutely love the curriculum materials and will be able to use them immediately in my classroom. There are activities that I never would have thought of on my own. Thanks!
Curriculum materials are amazing and I love how they are differentiated! Great layout, details and materials are easily assessable.
The activities stimulate discussions that result in students being more interested in events involving energy.
Cheers to all of you. You have successfully delivered the BEST workshop I have ever experienced. Keep up this good and relevant work.

In 1980, The NEED Project began as a one-day celebration of energy education when National Energy Education Day was recognized by a Joint Congressional Resolution. In the same year, President Jimmy Carter issued a Presidential Proclamation stressing the need for comprehensive energy education in our schools, a reduction of our dependence of fossil fuels, and increasing use of renewable energy technologies and energy efficiency.
