AB  - The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) implementation can and should be indispensable in students' daily lives, with educational and practical applications. The National Energy Education Development (NEED) Project is a nonprofit association focusing on mentoring K-12 teachers on sustainable energy education through STEM topics and activities. The NEED Project offers a curriculum and mentorship to professors on how to use creativity to teach K-12 students and invent new ways of thinking and practicing sustainability addressing STEM topics. Students can effectively make changes that directly impact their community, building solid values of respect between men and nature from an early age. 
The NEED Project launched in West Virginia (WV) in late 2020, successfully mentoring many teachers around the state. To express the importance of the NEED Project to the teachers and students in WV, there is a need to study the effects of the NEED Project approach in developing the pedagogical content knowledge of teachers and students. This research aims to use surveys to collect data from teachers around WV to discuss the effectiveness of The NEED Project on K-12 schools and the importance of implementing STEM topics in K-12 schools. Through surveys, a qualitative study is employed by interviewing WV teachers who have attended the mentorship and applied the NEED curriculum in the classroom. The survey contains demographic, challenges, and development perception questions regarding the NEED Project curriculum and practices.
The survey results analysis will shed light on the effectiveness of the NEED Project for teachers and students. The research results will help to improve the NEED curriculum and mentorship, mainly bringing new ways to understand STEM topics and sustainability education in the state of WV.
