Youth Education Programs 
Teaching electrical safety—especially to youth—is one of Cullman Electric Cooperative’s top priorities. We offer education opportunities from pre-k through 12th grade. These opportunities include classroom visits, electrical safety presentations, Power Towns, field trips, and community helper days. We also offer the option of including aspects of Sprout Fiber Internet in our presentation or visit.
PowerTown
Using a mini town table demonstration, Cullman EC lineman can demonstrate the dangers of electricity and show students how electricity reaches the home. This is a fun way to show students what happens on a power line and why they need to be extra careful around electrical equipment. Cullman Electric will provide a fun handout for the class, ranging from coloring books to plastic hard hats.
This demonstration is ideal for pre-k through 5th grade and can be tailored to meet the needs of the grade and teacher's request.
Field Trips
Cullman EC can host students from elementary school to high school, offering simple lessons in electrical safety or more complex lessons on electrical engineering, power generation, or careers in energy. Students can also tour our facility and speak with employees from different departments, and if the weather is nice, view a bucket truck and a drone.
Field Trips can be tailored to meet the teacher's needs and the students' age. Please include these specific instructions in your request.
School Visits
Are you unable to take a field trip? School visits are an excellent way for us to bring the lesson to your classroom! We can offer presentations on the history of electric cooperatives, electrical safety, electricity generation, careers in energy, and fiber optics. We also attend community helper days for pre-k and kindergarten and bring the bucket truck.
These presentations can be tailored to meet the needs of any grade and teacher. Please communicate what you would like to see included in your school visit in your request form.
