Youth Energy Summit
Each high school teacher brings a team of 10 students from their district to a regional Youth Energy Summit. Interactive activities combining major energy concepts with leadership, teamwork and presentation skills allow students to leave the Youth Energy Summit prepared to conduct an Energy Workshop or Energy Fair in their region for students and their teachers.

Home Energy Efficiency Kits
Teachers and students are introduced to basic concepts of energy use and conservation with activities focused on home energy use. Students will be introduced to methods of measuring energy usage, determining costs, and quantifying environmental effects. Six different energy efficiency lessons are presented in the classroom and students take home a variety of efficiency measures from their Home Energy Efficiency Kit that can be used in the home to lower energy consumption. Funds provided by a grant through the Ohio EPA/Ohio Environmental Education Fund. Limited availability.

Energy Smart Kit
The Energy Smart Kit provides materials for teachers and/or students to improve the learning environment in schools while saving energy and money, utilizing the school building as a learning laboratory. The Kit helps reduce school energy consumption and costs by empowering teachers and students to make sustainable energy choices and affecting the attitudes and behaviors of teachers, students and staff about energy conservation.
OEP staff will work with teachers and administrators to design a program tailored to the district's curricular needs and efficiency improvement plans.
