HANDS-ON, MINDS-ON YOUTH PROGRAMING
ENTERGY SOLUTIONS SCHOOL KIT PROGRAM
If you teach sixth grade or high school Civics or Environmental Science in the Entergy Louisiana service area, and want to help your students become leaders in energy efficiency, Entergy Solutions is a one-of-a-kind opportunity. Energy Wise implements the Entergy Solutions School Kit Program. Entergy Solutions is an energy efficiency program administered by Entergy Louisiana for Louisiana residents.
What exactly is the program?
The Entergy Solutions School Kit Program delivers an in-class session built around an hour-long time frame, but flexible to a school's particular class block. We offer an optional second session to check back in with your students and give them a chance to try some fun energy experiments. After the first session, each student goes home with an energy efficiency starter kit that they can install with their families at home.
What do we cover?
Our visual and hands-on lessons are Common Core and Louisiana Student Standards correlated, and provide an excellent supplement to your classroom. Our experience has taught us that students often lack the in-depth understanding of energy systems that may be necessary in order to take action to save money and carbon emissions. We seek to fill in the blanks and inspire them to make changes in their own lives. After our presentation, students should be able to answer these questions:
What is energy?
Where do we get energy?
Why do we choose the resources we choose?
Why is this problematic?
What can we do about it?
What is in the kit?
Students will go home with:
6 high-efficiency LEDs
Low-flow shower head
Low-flow kitchen sink aerator
Low-flow bathroom sink aerator
Flow bag to compare the difference
incentives
We ask that our teachers assign a survey for homework that students will fill out with their families.
TEACHERS GET: If your entire class brings their survey back, you receive a gift card to Home Depot.
We're dedicated to saving energy in Louisiana. Our goal is to save the families of our students a total of $112,000, and keep 600,000 pounds of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere every year for the next three years. Please contact us to book your classes today!
