Central Electric Cooperative is working to build a bright future through youth education initiatives. Your cooperative participates in a variety of programs, including Ag in the Classroom and Co-ops in the Classroom, that engage the next generation in electrical education and safety principles.
Ag in the Classroom is a youth education program offered by the Mitchell Area Chamber Ag Committee. It is an opportunity for fourth graders in the Mitchell area to learn about farm animals such as cows, horses, sheep, dogs and pigs. They also learn about soil, crops and the importance of safety around electricity and farm machinery.
Coops in the Classroom is a hands-on educational program offered to area schools by Central Electric and its wholesale power provider, East River Electric Power Cooperative. Protons, neutrons, electrons, insulators and conductors are major topics of discussion as students take an educational journey into the exciting world of electricity. Kids learn about electrical safety on the farm and in town.
