With the school year well underway, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) offers a variety of free educational programs designed to enhance learning experiences and prepare students for future careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

$50,000 Classroom Makeover Grants

Teachers at 10 schools in FPL’s service area have the chance to receive $50,000 grants each this fall to transform their classrooms into high-tech learning environments. The grants provide eligible public, private, and charter schools across all grade levels the opportunity to update technology and resources while advancing curriculum and increasing STEM education exposure for their students.

Captain Wattage

Teachers at elementary schools in the service area can register for Captain Wattage, a free, action-packed show that captivates students’ imaginations while delivering energy conservation messages. Schools can sign up at fpl.com/education for fall, spring, and summer camp presentations.
