MGE helps teachers, schools energize area education

MGE helps schools provide a wide range of classroom programs and a practical energy curriculum for thousands of students. Making energy fun and relevant encourages conservation and environmental responsibility.

  • Solar in Schools features a web-based monitoring service for solar photovoltaic (PV) installations at area high schools. Students track their high school's solar PV system and weather data. See the live data at mge.com/solarschools.
  • MaGicEnergy™ features area educator and entertainer Bob Kann (photo at right) performing in area schools and libraries.
  • Switch to Safety. MGE presents a popular electric safety classroom program for elementary school students.
  • K-12 teacher development opportunities. MGE promotes this opportunity through the Wisconsin K-12 Energy Education program.
  • Children's museum. Opened last summer, the Madison Children's Museum features several energy programs and exhibits. MGE is a supporter of the museum, including our donation of a solar PV installation on the green roof. The museum is located at 100 N. Hamilton St. on the Capitol Square.
