K-12 Education

CREDC recognizes that the success of a secure and modern energy delivery system needs a capable workforce as well as knowledgeable and involved young people who will become consumers, voters, and the workforce of the future. Consumers need to be informed and engaged in order to meet future energy challenges and to maximize implementations of evolving technologies.

Members of the CREDC Education team work with teachers and students, informal educators, industry, and other CREDC researchers to develop a wide variety of educational opportunities and activities that are designed to engage learners of all ages.
