Teaching students about wise energy use is the purpose behind KCPL's middle-school curriculum, "Teen Power: Energized for Life!". This age-appropriate curriculum helps students become empowered energy-use investigators as they examine energy use within the school. Teen Power works best when students work in teams to perform investigations and brainstorm ideas for wise energy use. The program can be incorporated into a teacher's everyday curriculum. The topics included span across middle-school curricula to include virtually every classroom subject. The topics covered include energy, water, office equipment, lighting, heating and air conditioning and your building's "envelope" -- the barrier the structure provides between the indoor and outdoor environments. Working in partnership with school districts, Kansas City Power
