🌞 Thank You, Madison Energy Infrastructure! 🌞

We're excited to announce the launch of our new Solar Design Challenge Pilot, and it wouldn't be possible without the generous support of Madison Energy Infrastructure.

Thanks to their investment, Ohio students will have the opportunity to explore renewable energy through hands-on STEM learning—designing, building, and testing solar-powered circuits while developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and engineering skills.

Partnerships like this help inspire the next generation of innovators and energy leaders. Thank you, Madison Energy Infrastructure, for helping us bring engaging, real-world energy education into Ohio classrooms!

☀️ Wonder what Education Coordinators do during the summer?

We’re still getting our hands dirty! 🔧⚡️☀️

Behind the scenes, our team is busy testing, building, experimenting, and finding new ways to make energy and STEM education engaging for Ohio students and teachers.

Summer is the perfect time to roll up our sleeves and get to work! 💡

⚡ Learning never stops at the Ohio Energy Project!

This week, we welcomed an incredible group of educators for our e3 Smart Teacher Training in partnership with AEP Ohio. Teachers spent the day exploring the e3 Smart curriculum, collaborating with fellow educators, and preparing to bring engaging energy efficiency and energy education lessons into their classrooms this school year.

We're grateful for the dedicated teachers who continue investing in their students and helping the next generation better understand energy and the impact of everyday energy choices.

A big thank you to AEP Ohio for supporting this program and making these learning opportunities possible. We can't wait to see these lessons come to life in classrooms across Ohio! 💡📚

✨ Teacher Spotlight: Jaimie Thomas ✨

This summer, we're looking back at some of the incredible educators who make STEM come alive in their classrooms—and today we're celebrating Jaimie Thomas!
Jaimie's passion for hands-on learning inspires students to ask questions, solve problems, and think like engineers. Watching her students collaborate, experiment, and discover new ideas is a wonderful reminder of the impact dedicated teachers have every day.

Thank you, Jaimie, for your commitment to creating engaging STEM experiences and for being an amazing partner with Ohio Energy Project. Your enthusiasm is helping spark the next generation of innovators!

💙 We can't wait to see what this upcoming school year brings!

🌿⚡ Juneteenth | Ohio Energy Project ⚡🌿

Today, we recognize Juneteenth—a day that honors freedom, resilience, and progress.

At Ohio Energy Project, we celebrate the strength of communities and the importance of building a brighter, more equitable future for all. As we teach energy education across Ohio, we are reminded that innovation and opportunity grow when every voice is included and every learner is supported.

💡 Energy powers our homes, schools, and lives—but people power change.

Let’s continue learning, growing, and working together toward a future where access, education, and opportunity are shared by all.
