41. Engaging Students in a Real-World Challenge

The Renew Our Schools Energy Challenge, sponsored by two Wisconsin organizations, asks students to measure their schools' energy use and find ways to reduce it. It’s a way for kids to learn by doing while helping their schools save money. We'll learn about that program and how your district can join. We'll hear from Oconomowoc students who participated, their teacher and a program manager from a sponsoring organization, Focus on Energy. It’s not too late to join in the challenge for the upcoming school year. Learn more at the program website. The challenge is sponsored by the K-12 Energy Education Program, or KEEP, and Focus on Energy, Wisconsin’s energy efficiency and renewable energy program.
