K-12 Energy Education Camps and Workshops
OEP has a long history of supporting K-12 Energy Education through professional development and student learning opportunities. OEP’s offerings include Energy Education Camps for K-12 Educators, Energy Education Workshops for both educators and students, Outreach Events, and continued support of the National Energy Education Development (NEED) Project. These offerings connect the broad topic of energy to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) subjects and provide educators and students with the knowledge and resources necessary to teach energy concepts.
OEP's K-12 Energy Education Program is excited to announce that Energy Camps for Educators will return in Summer 2026! These immersive, hands-on professional development experiences are designed to equip teachers with the tools, resources, and inspiration to bring energy education into the classroom. Whether you're new to energy topics or looking to deepen your expertise, these camps offer engaging content, expert-led sessions, and practical classroom applications.
