Education
Efficiency Maine provides three main programs teaching students in grades 4 - 12 about a broad range of energy issues, including the production, uses and conservation of electricity.
 | THE MAINE ENERGY EDUCATION PROGRAM (central and southern Maine) and the MAINE PUBLIC SERVICE ENERGY EDUCATION PROGRAM (northern Maine) focus on teaching students in grades 4–12 about electricity production, use and conservation, as well as the effects of energy use on the environment and the economy. Lessons learned in school are designed to help improve students’ energy-efficiency awareness and habits at home. |
 | POWERSLEUTH.ORG, the new Maine Energy Education Curriculum Project, provides students in grades 4-8 with a thorough grounding in energy production, uses and conservation in Maine. |
 | "MAINE ENERGY IDOLS" has returned to find the best music video about energy efficiency in 2010. High school students from across Maine are invited to compete for the title of "Maine Energy Idol" and a grand prize of $1,000! To learn more about how to participate in "Maine Energy Idols," please visit our official contest page. |
EFFICIENCY RAPS!
In the Spring of 2009 a contest was held giving Maine’s 9th–10th graders a chance to put their rhyming skills to work in a contest for the best video raps on energy. The winner, Ian Wright, received an ENERGY STAR laptop and an hour of studio time.
