What are teachers saying?

OEP’s Energy Sources Tour gave me a new perspective and deeper understanding of the energy industry. It also showed me the career possibolities, which is something my students need.

OEP’s has rejuvinated me about teaching science!

OEP Summits have been a staple in my teaching repertoire. The hands-on nature of the activities engages my students.
