What The Energy Project does
Mission
The Energy Project is a nonprofit organization that empowers youth through stem education, hands-on maker labs, and industry mentorship. We support students in developing innovative solutions and building career pathways in energy, engineering, and technology sectors.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
In 2024, The Energy Project partnered with houston isd high schools to implement stem programming and provide access to maker tools, 3-d printers, fabrication equipment, and industry mentorship. The organization also began developing a scalable online curriculum to expand program access to additional schools across texas and the united states.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
