The closest program like ours

Or rather we might say we are close to theirs.

This New Zealand program has a lot to offer:

FSEC reaches out with EnergyWhiz Olympics!

Florida has developed an exiting program with some similarities with our program in Texas.  I like the spring fair aspect and am impressed by the huge number of students.  I suppose when we post on executing use of the Kit at the 8th grade career fair our numbers will look good too (about 800).  All the same, I hope they blog more on their events, I’m curious to know what worked and what didn’t.

These folks are mostly sponsored by Johnson Controls, a major leader in energy management systems. ESL works with Johnson Controls at most of their Continuous Commissioning (R) sites.

Ahah, Wisconsin’s EE School Program

Similiar to, but not quite what we are doing.
