In Florida, the State Energy Office used SEP funds to provide K-12 public schools with energy education kits. There are three types of kits geared to different grade levels. All the kits are designed to develop teamwork, problem-solving abilities, and investigate environmental issues, and include items such as solar panels and electric motors, which provide opportunities for hands-on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics skills. In 2019, the State Energy Office purchased 677 kits in a combination of elementary, middle, and high school kits valued at $495,000; 210 of these kits worth $153,840 have been provided to schools. An estimated 71,400 children around the state will be impacted by these kits.
