The URI Energy Center understands the importance of teaching children and teens about energy basics, efficiency and renewable energy. It is our goal to educate the entire Rhode Island population, including the state's most precious resource, its students! Here we provide teachers and students with the tools to learn more about energy.
The following sites provide educators with the tools to learn more about energy. The information from these sites can be applied into curriculums for an increased energy focus.
