Bulldogs learn about the power behind our community!

Today's Kids Club Summer Expedition at Kearney Junior High gave our K-5 students an up-close look at the people, equipment and technology that help keep the lights on every day.

Our friends from Platte-Clay Electric Cooperative spent the morning introducing students to the world of electric utilities through hands-on demonstrations and interactive learning. Students explored a bucket lift truck, watched a drone demonstration, and learned about electrical safety using a detailed model power grid that showed how electricity travels from substations to homes and businesses.

Beyond the impressive equipment, students also heard about the many careers that make reliable electric service possible, from lineworkers and engineers to drone pilots and other technical professionals.

Experiences like this help bring classroom learning to life while introducing students to careers they may one day pursue. We are grateful to Platte-Clay Electric Cooperative for investing their time, expertise and enthusiasm in our students and for being such a valued community partner.
