BALTIMORE, July 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Constellation Energy (NYSE: CEG) today announced the donation of a state-of-the-art weather station to the Living Classrooms Foundation, a Baltimore-based education outreach organization which engages students academically through experiential learning.

The new Living Classrooms Constellation Energy Weather Station will be used as a teaching tool by the organization's Crossroads School, providing on-demand information such as temperature, wind speed and barometric pressure. The weather station, which has been placed on the tower of the school's East Harbor campus on South Caroline Street, will allow students the opportunity to learn how to track storms and other weather activity.

"This is yet another opportunity for Constellation Energy to make a meaningful contribution to the educational efforts of the communities in which we live and work," said Stuart Rubenstein, chief operating officer of Constellation Power Source, a subsidiary of Constellation Energy. "This donation will provide students with an enhanced understanding of the dynamics of weather and its impact on our daily lives and is a natural extension of our relationship with Living Classrooms, particularly Constellation Energy's mentoring efforts at The Crossroads School."

The Living Classrooms Constellation Energy Weather Station will permit the company to expand its mentoring activities. Currently, employees of Constellation Energy provide ongoing academic support to 10 students at The Crossroads School.

"This weather station is tailor-made for the kind of learning that Living Classrooms provides for young people," said Scott W. Raymond, vice president of Living Classrooms. "The station offers the type of practical, hands-on learning that enhances the educational experience for students at The Crossroads School. Constellation Energy deserves credit for establishing this learning partnership with our students."

Other examples of experiential learning at Living Classrooms includes the planting of bay grasses in the Chesapeake, restoring wetlands near the Inner Harbor, and repairing sailing vessels and lighthouses.
