EmpowerU
At PEC, supporting our youngest members through educational outreach and programming is one big way we show our commitment to the communities we serve. That’s why we’ve created EmpowerU — a series of electricity-focused educational programming that is free to parents, students, and educators.
Circuit Builder
Recommended for third through sixth grades
We’ve put together a complete lesson plan that teaches elementary school students the components of electric circuits and how they function. Download these materials, which include a PowerPoint presentation, videos, and worksheets for your lesson.
Meet a lineworker
Recommended for third through eighth grades
It’s never too early to start dreaming about serving your community — and working with a big, cool truck! — for a job when you grow up. That’s why EmpowerU includes this lesson introducing our future leaders to the important job lineworkers do for our members.
