Want to get your section or chapter involved with the energy4me program? Create a reusable STEM kit for your educational outreach program. The kit will provide your section or chapter with ready-to-go tools you need for fun, exciting, and educational presentations to primary, intermediate and secondary classrooms.
How to use the kit: Use the Amazon list titled "Energy4me STEM Kit" to build it. If Amazon is not in your region, use this list of supplies to create your kit.
The kit is designed with four modules that progress from the origins of oil and gas to their development, tailored to students' ages. Each module has a lesson plan and hands-on activities. The lessons correlate to pages in the Oil and Natural Gas book, available online and in print.
Your kit will contain basic supplies for the activities. Once the kit is used, replenish the supplies for the next member. Lastly, let us know how the event goes by submitting an activity report, and we will share your success on our social channels.
