2024 Grant Recipient: The National Energy Education Development Project (NEED) Project
The NEED Project
The CFEBA also announced a $10,000 grant to the National Energy Education Development Project (NEED). The NEED Project works with energy companies, state and federal agencies, and other organizations to produce energy programs for U.S. schools. As part of NEED Project curricula, students learn how to design buildings to maximize energy efficiency, install solar panels, monitor wind turbine output, learn about oil and gas exploration in shale, explore transportation technologies, and more.. NEED students are the future of the energy workforce and the CFEBA is excited to support its education and workforce development efforts.
The CFEBA is thrilled to support the NEED project with a $10,000 grant to fund K-12 energy education in underserved communities. Energy is an integral part of our daily lives, and we need smart and effective energy policy decisions today and in the years to come. The NEED Project provides vital energy education to students to boost energy literacy and help spark an interest in the energy industry as a future career opportunity.
