Educators from central Illinois (including three teachers from Sullivan) came to be trained on their Smart Grid for Schools program.  Teachers simulated power plant and smart house activities.  After completing the training, educators can sign up for these kits to be shipped to their schools and used in their classrooms.  The programs are k-12.  A lot of hands-on learning for everyone!  Thank you for a wonderful evening! #onetribe
