Workshops

Energy Smart Students workshops are free of charge and are offered year-round for educators in New York State. Workshops focus on such topics as energy forms and sources, energy efficiency, and renewable energy.

Educators who attend a workshop participate in hands-on instruction, earn staff development hours, and receive FREE curriculum correlated to the New York State Learning Standards in Math, Science, Technology, Social Studies, English/Language Arts, and Family and Consumer Science. Curriculum materials include an assortment of lesson plans, colorful posters, reproducible worksheets, kits, and supplemental materials for students.

NYSERDA also offers substitute stipends for any workshop taking place during school hours. Alternatively, we can bring these free workshops to your district on a staff development day. To learn more call 1-877-NY-SMART (Option 6) or email info@nyess.org.
