National Energy Foundation 3676 California Ave., Suite A117 Salt Lake City, UT 84104 PHONE: (801) 908-5800; EMAIL: info@nef1.org The National Energy Education Development (NEED) Project The mission of the NEED Project is to promote an energy conscious and educated society by creating effective networks of students, educators, business, government and community leaders to design and deliver objective, multi-sided energy education programs. The NEED Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit education association dedicated to promoting a realistic understanding of the scientific, economic and environmental impacts of energy, so that students and teachers can make educated decisions. The NEED program includes curriculum materials, professional development, evaluation tools, and recognition. NEED teaches the scientific concepts of energy and provides objective information about energy sources-their use and impact on the environment, the economy and society. The program also includes information to educate students about energy efficiency and conservation, and tools to help educators, energy managers and consumers use energy wisely. All NEED schools have outstanding classroom-based programs in which students learn about energy. Some schools have student leaders who extend these activities into their communities. To recognize outstanding achievement and reward student leadership, The NEED Project conducts the National Youth Awards Program for Energy Achievement. Appendix G,9 This program combines academic competition with recognition to acknowledge everyone involved in NEED during the year and to recognize those who achieve excellence in energy education in their – schools and communities. The students and teachers set goals and objectives, and keep a record of their activities. In April, the students combine their materials into scrapbooks and send them to their state coordinators. The students themselves write summaries of their projects for inclusion in the Annual Report. In addition, NEED conducts training conferences, creates educational materials, evaluates the nation’s energy knowledge through a Report Card and plans recognition programs. NEED is active in 5000 schools across 35 states.
