Ohio Energy Project (OEP) has been serving students, teachers, and communities since 1988. From its inception, OEP has dedicated time, talent, and resources to meeting the needs of classrooms across the Buckeye State and sparking curiosity about energy in learners of all backgrounds.
Science is for everyone. Energy is universal. With those key principles in mind, OEP has expanded from the humble beginnings of one program to a suite of dynamic offerings that serve hundreds of teachers, thousands of students, and tens of thousands of Ohioans annually.
