The smART meter program is underwritten by SDG&E and is designed to teach youth about the importance and inter-relatedness of recycling and energy conservation. If you are an organization that reaches and serves children and youth and would like to display smART meters and help convey our message of energy conservation through the recycled art of youth, or if you would like to plan a smART meter project, please contact Brian@kidskorps.org.
