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 demo, linemen demonstrate the dangers of electricity and show how electricity reaches a home. It's a fun way to show what happens on a power line and why we need to be extra careful around electrical equipment. Cullman Electric will even provide a fun handout, ranging from coloring books to plastic hard hats. 

This demo is ideal for pre-k through fifth grade and can be tailored to meet the needs of the grade and/or teacher's requests.

Field Trips

Cullman EC can host students from elementary 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 the 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 students' ages. Please include these specific instructions in your request.

School Visits

Unable to take a field trip? Let us bring the lesson right to your classroom! We can offer presentations on the history of electric cooperatives, electrical safety, electricity generation, careers in energy, and fiber optics. We can also attend community helper days for pre-k and kindergarten and bring the bucket trucks! 

These presentations can also be tailored to meet the needs of any grade or teacher. Please communicate what you would like to see included in your request form.
