PNM Energy Efficiency Programs for Students

When it comes to educating our New Mexico youth about energy efficiency, PNM is all about it! We offer three energy efficiency student programs that schools and teachers can participate in to help teach their students about the importance of protecting the environment, how energy can be used wisely, the evolution of driving electric vehicles, and how they can become part of the solution. These programs offer a fun and interactive experience for students in 5th grade and high school. 

PNM Think Energy! Home Works Program for 5th Grade Students

The PNM Home Works program is a 45 to 60-minute interactive, hands-on presentation for 5th grade students and teachers at participating schools within the PNM service territory. The presentation is conducted by professional educators from the National Energy Foundation and provides teachers and students with an understanding of how to be an energy efficiency expert at home.

Each student receives an energy efficiency Take Action! Kit that includes easy to install items that have a huge impact on energy use at home. Teachers also receive supplemental instructional materials and optional lessons, all correlated to New Mexico state learning standards, that can be used in addition to the presentation.

Teachers can earn up to a $100 classroom mini-grant when students submit their Home Energy Worksheets online.
