SUMMARY:2026 Energizing Student Potential Energy Workshop - Washington\, DC
DESCRIPTION:CLICK HERE TO REGISTER\nWhat Is The Energizing Student Potential Program?\nThe Energizing Student Potential Program is “STEM project-based\,” combining classroom activities with a school energy audit by students\, a student-run energy fair and an energy-focused STEM challenge. \nPepco and the Exelon Foundation\, in partnership with the National Energy Education Development (NEED) Project offer Energizing Student Potential (ESP)\, a STEM-focused energy program for grades 3 – 12. This program brings together standards-based curriculum for use by educators and media specialists in the library\, classroom\, and afterschool setting. \nEnergizing Student Potential is a collaborative educational initiative designed to empower students to explore opportunities in STEM fields and help them discover their own path to innovation through a variety of classroom subjects. ESP is designed to help educators bring energy into the school and to provide all the tools and resources necessary for students and educators to learn together\, explore energy together\, and teach their local communities about energy. \nProgram Offerings:\nTeacher Training Workshops on a variety of energy topics – including the Science of Energy\, Forms and Transformations\, Energy Sources\, Electricity\, Transportation\, Climate Science and Energy Efficiency. Substitute reimbursement available\, and stipend for Saturday worksh0ps.\nTeacher selected NEED energy kits and classroom curriculum valued at $1\,000.\nOpportunity for a mini-grant of up to $400 available via application to support additional ESP supplies or resources for the classroom.\nAn optional ESP Energy Fair kit for students to create an Energy Fair to share their knowledge with each other and the local community.\nResources for direct to student content – YouTube and Instagram Live sessions that connect to an ESP content area – electricity\, solar\, wind\, efficiency\, nuclear\, as well as links to energy videos\, virtual tours and more.\nOpportunity for Student Energy Team Trainings for small group of students (clubs) with NEED’s Certified Energy Manager and other staff on managing energy use in the school (and in the home) Topics can include general energy\, energy efficiency\, engineering\, and more.\nOpportunities to request Exelon volunteers to chat with students to learn more about energy careers.\nExelon-wide Energy Innovation Challenge for students to “opt in” for participation within a class or individually \nDate and Location\nOctober 13\, 2026\nWashington Marriott Metro Center\n775 12th Street\nWashington\, DC 20005 \nFor The Attendees:\n• Hands-on kits and curriculum materials\n• A great day of hands-on learning and professional networking\n• Breakfast and lunch\n• Stipend \nQuestions\nContact Wendi Moss at wmoss@need.org or call 1-800-875-5029 \nAGENDA \n8:00 a.m. Registration\, Breakfast & Sign In \n8:20 a.m. Welcome & Overview of the Day \n8:30 a.m. Introduction to the Science of Energy\nLearn more about the forms of energy and energy transformations while experimenting with the Science of Energy kit. \n10:00 a.m. Electric Connections and Candy Collector\nElectric Connections teaches how different energy sources contribute to the generation of electricity. Candy Collector is a fun game to introduce students to the terms “renewable” and “nonrenewable”. \n11:00 a.m. Energy Careers Round Up\nEnergy Careers Roundup is a good activity to introduce careers in the industry. \n11:30 a.m. Lunch \n12:00 p.m. Exploring NEED Kits\n• Wind Activity – Wind Blade Investigation and Wind Can Do Work\n• Solar Activity – Solar Oven and UV Beads\n• Climate Science – Greenhouse in a Beaker and Climate Web \n3:00 p.m. Workshop Wrap Up paperwork \n3:30 p.m. Adjourn \n**Supporting library books will be discussed for each of the activities with appropriate grade bands.
