TERC and the Girl Scouts of America are partnering to create an energy monitoring and conservation after school program for approximately 5,500 girls ages 8-11 in eastern Massachusetts. The goals of the Girls Energy Conservation Corps (GECCo) after school project are to involve girls in learning and applying science, using technology, developing leadership and communication skills, educating peers, saving energy, and addressing the global issue of climate change. The project is (1) developing activity-based Energy Detective Kits to help girls understand, monitor, and reduce energy use, (2) adapting devices for measuring home electricity consumption, and (3) developing guidelines for using new media (such as YouTube) to engage girls in science and helping them use new media to inform and communicate their experiences and findings to Girl Scouts nationally. Project participants are cumulatively reducing their energy consumption and adopting more sustainable lifestyles.

TERC和美国女童子军正在合作，为马萨诸塞州东部约5500名8-11岁的女孩创建一个课后能源监测和保护项目。女童节能团（GECCo）课后项目的目标是让女童参与学习和应用科学、使用技术、发展领导能力和沟通技巧、教育同龄人、节约能源和应对全球气候变化问题。该项目是(1)开发基于活动的能源检测工具包，以帮助女孩了解、监测和减少能源使用；(2)调整测量家庭用电量的设备；(3)制定使用新媒体（如YouTube）的指导方针，让女孩参与科学，并帮助她们使用新媒体向全国的女童子军通报和交流她们的经验和发现。项目参与者正在逐步减少能源消耗，采用更可持续的生活方式。
