Since 2008, Phillips 66 and NEED have partnered to provide teachers across the country with curriculum and
training opportunities.
This workshop series presents a unique opportunity for classroom teachers (K-12) to learn about energy in a fun and exciting way! The seminars will create awareness of today’s energy challenges and the importance of using energy wisely.

Participants will receive the NEED Science of Energy Kit, a basic NEED curriculum set and a class-set of NEED’s Energy Infobooks. Curriculum and training is aligned with state education standards.
