In-School Programs

Energy Quest Online is a game that transforms students in grades 6–8 into home-energy investigators. Students can test their knowledge about electricity, water, and gas usage in their homes, while learning about new energy-efficient technologies and developing positive energy behaviors.

Watts-Ville Online is a game for grades K–3 that teaches students about energy efficiency and the importance of saving energy. Through Watts-Ville, students play with real-world examples to understand how they use energy every day, and some simple steps to use less.  

The Energized Guyz is an interactive e-learning package that offers classrooms a convenient, online-accessible option for experiencing energy efficiency education through live theatre.

The 35-minute livestream event presents a virtual lesson on energy efficiency for students in grades 3-5. A live host will introduce entertaining skits featuring a variety of characters and scenes that help classes discuss energy use.

Students and teachers will also have access to a Q&A with the host, plus an exclusive e-learning package that includes games, quizzes, e-books and lesson plans for the classroom.

Professional Development For Educators

Eversource works with the National Energy Education Development (NEED) Project to bring hands-on energy workshops for Educators to Massachusetts schools. The workshops cover content from the Next Generation Science Standards and provide resources and training to help educators teach their energy standards in an engaging way.

Topics include the forms of energy and energy transformations, energy sources, electricity and magnetism and energy efficiency. The workshops are designed to showcase how the curriculum works in the classroom – both in person and virtual. Educators receive hands-on kits for their classrooms.
