Clean power,

today and tomorrow

We support teachers with educational resources that help inspire students to develop a clean energy mindset and power smart practices that benefit future generations.

Fun for students, reliable for teachers

We all learn in different ways, but we learn best when we’re engaged and having fun. Our goal is to create activities and lessons that teachers can trust and students enjoy.

From interactive videos to hands-on activities, our K-12 resources are aligned to the B.C. curriculum. They're easy to access, ready to go, and completely free.

From our community to yours

All across B.C. we're bringing clean energy concepts and the science behind them right into your schools with the help of our Community Team and their classroom presentations.

Our presentations encourage action-oriented learning, so students can become power smart stewards in their communities.
