Grants for energy education projects
September 29, 2008
If there’s a bright side to America’s energy crunch (and that’s a big “if”), it’s that it’s a fine reason to teach about energy. And those lessons might be worth some serious cash. Progress Energy will dish out up to $75,000 for projects dealing with energy education.
Potential topics include solar power, recycling programs, energy audits, a lab excercise about electricity, or whatever plans you can think of that don’t involve a hamster wheel. For more ideas, visit Progress Energy’s blog entry on DonorsChoose.
If you’d like some of this free money, apply by October 15. You’ll need to sign up for a free DonorsChoose.org account. Then, just submit your project ideas, including the tools you’ll need to help your students learn a thing or two about energy. -BILL FERRIS
