Think! Energy with Efficiency Works

Think! Energy with Efficiency Works is a fun, free and informative educational energy program designed to help 4th graders learn about efficiency concepts following State of Colorado curriculum requirements. Through our Take Action Kits, students receive energy and water-saving devices like LED lights and a high-efficiency showerhead to learn about energy and water conservation. This program includes online support for participants and teachers, posters and educational activities. In the 2023-24 school year, Think! Energy with Efficiency Works partnered with 47 schools across Estes Park, Fort Collins, Longmont and Loveland, and distributed over 2,700 kits to students and teachers.

If you’re a teacher or administrator interested in offering this program at your school, call  800.616.8326 ext. 153, and an Educational Service Representative will reach out to help coordinate delivery of your materials.
