Challenge your students to think and learn about how they use energy every day – and enter to win prizes throughout the semester!

Earn Points, Win Prizes

Earn points by completing challenges between August and November. There are points that can be earned anytime during that period and monthly challenges that need to be submitted by the end of the month. Each month, each teacher signed up will receive the next month’s challenge. Read more about the challenges below and keep an eye on your inbox for the monthly challenge.

Benefits

Each month a winner is chosen from those who complete the monthly challenge, and at the end of the semester, seven regional and one state prize are chosen based on the number of points earned throughout the year. Monthly prizes are $100 worth of goodies for the students, plus some swag from PPC partners. In December, each region will award a pizza party (and a tour of a power plant if possible) to the top points-earning class in their area. The top points-earning class in the state will also earn about $1,200 worth of supplies from NEED.org.

The activities in the Power Pledge Challenge are designed to increase students’ energy literacy in an engaging way. You can choose when and how to do these activities in a way that fits with your classroom/group schedule. You also have the opportunity to have expert guest speakers into your classroom at no cost.
