Rhode Island students recognized for energy achievements
Ten schools participated in the National Energy Education Development Project 38th Annual Youth Awards for Energy Achievement. Students and teachers submitted portfolios documenting their energy activities throughout the year, such as organizing their own energy fairs/expos, implementing conservation programs, building model wind turbines, conducting school energy audits, and teaching educational workshops for their communities and peers.
The portfolios were judged at the state level, with the state winners advancing to the national competition. The National Award winners received their awards in late June in Washington D.C. Rhode Island had another banner year with four National award winners!
