What is Know Your Energy Numbers?
Know Your Energy Numbers (KYEN) is a suite of programs designed by researchers at Stanford University and Oregon State University to engage young people and families in learning about their household energy use and making changes to save energy.

Know Your Energy Numbers
We are currently working with young people and families in Fremont, California, as part of our Smart & Connected Kids for Sustainable Energy Communities grant from the National Science Foundation.
Want to get involved? Join one of three research projects:
Energy Data Mapping
Fremont families with at least one child aged 9-14 are invited to participate in a five-week research project. Participants install a device in their home to stream real-time energy data, journal about activities that use energy in the home, and observe their energy consumption in real time.

Energy Data Visualization
Fremont junior high and high school students are invited to participate in this online course where they will work with their household's own electricity data to learn how to visualize data, save energy and present results using Tableau, a software tool designed to help people see and understand data.
GLEE
Girls Learning Environment and Energy (GLEE) is a joint effort between Stanford University and the Girl Scouts of Northern California to teach Girl Scouts and their families about energy conservation. Materials to implement GLEE in your own troop are available to troops in any state!
