Our team had a great time with them while they learned about electrical circuits and energy efficiency. The students have shown a great interest in science and STEAM careers, and they are dedicated to making a positive change in our world.

This week, Envirolution had the privilege of imple This week, Envirolution had the privilege of implementing an energy saving home project proposed by a 7th grade student at Dilworth Middle School as part of the Project ReCharge program. Envirolution purchased and replaced all of the lights in this student's home with energy efficient LED lights which will increase his family's annual energy saving by hundreds of dollars while also reducing energy use and carbon emissions. Small changes can really make a big impact! #steameducation #ProjectReCharge #studentprojects #sustainability #energyefficiency

Summer break is almost here! We bet teachers have Summer break is almost here! We bet teachers have never been more ready for a break after what must be the most challenging year of teaching. We appreciate and love our teachers, so we'd like to take some time to give them a spotlight! Today we are shining a light on our Project ReCharge teacher Lauren Cimino. She teaches 7th and 8th Grade Science at Eagle Valley Middle School. Lauren tells us her favorite thing about teaching is that every day is new and different. She has enjoyed teaching the Project Recharge curriculum. “… I really enjoy the energy lessons and when we can relate it back to our students' own homes. They take ownership and make changes at home based on what it is they take away and learn within my classroom. Project ReCharge is an asset material to educators as we shift more into sustainable education, living, and environment.” Thank you for being amazing Lauren! #Envirolution #teachers #ProjectReCharge #teaching #STEAMeducation #Education #Nevada
