Summer STEM Energy Institute

Applications are being accepted for Classroom:Powered’s 2025 Summer STEM Energy Institute! We will be hosting groups of qualified teachers on June 17-19 in Midland, Texas to participate in this event as Institute Fellows.

Twenty teachers from across Texas and the nation will be selected to participate in a three-day deep dive into energy production in Texas. In addition to energy and education seminars led by energy experts and education professionals, you will visit museums, tour an oil rig and a power plant. Through these experiences, you will gain valuable insight of the abundant, reliable energy resources in Texas to take back to your classroom.

Check out the 2023 event here.

This opportunity will provide teachers with 24 hours of continuing education credit over a three-day period this summer. Through real-world and hands-on opportunities, you will engage in the story of energy that is woven throughout your life.
