?? We had a fantastic time at STEM Girl Day at The University of Texas at Austin! Our awesome team members in electrical engineering, distribution linework and educational outreach came out to chat with kids all about STEM careers at Austin Energy ?? Students loved the interactive activities including hand-crank generator circuits and demonstrations on how electricity powers up our town. Plus, our partners at Froliq Zpryme provided a VR experience to show what linework is like, EV driving demonstrations and electrical safety ??????? Thank you everyone for joining us in the free STEM fun over the weekend! ??

We recently hosted an engaging #CareersInEnergyWeek Expo for over 200 students from New Castle County! Through interactive exhibits, including Virtual Reality Modules, Electric Operations, and Environmental Management, students gained hands-on experience in the diverse career paths available at Delmarva Power. By engaging young minds today, we’re helping shape the skilled workforce that will drive innovation in energy tomorrow. Learn more in the Source: https://spr.ly/6043SOx4P

During Welcome Day for this year’s SPARK interns, local students met withdepartment leaders, spoke with previous program members and toured our command center and indoor substation. As SPARK participants, students receive advanced STEM education through hands-on learning and mentorship from our employees. They also get the chance to explore their interest in STEM fields and develop professional skills, opening pathways into the energy field at a young age and helping shape the next generation of leaders.

One of the outreach events I look forward to most this time of year is the Huston-Tillotson University Coding Camp hosting by Dr. Jennifer P. Miles, Ed.D. for middle and high school students. This one week program is not only learning about coding but hands-on designing and implementing solutions using robotics, app development, web storytelling and more. The Austin Energy #EV team gets to bring a real-world use case of how these technologies can function. We brought a show and tell for the campers through our EVs for Schools program with an interactive EV talk to connect the dots to #decarbonization and #climate protection, a City of Austin Ford Lightning, Virtual Reality EV racecar driving experience, the EV Spin Wheel of Fun & Facts, plus some cool swag! The students light up on these topics and are ready to bring their entrepreneurial spirits to help solve some of the greatest challenges of our time. Inspiring innovation! #futureleaders Thank you team for making it special: Bobby Godsey, Nathan Richardson Olivia Cardona-Herrera Tiffany Henning Zpryme Froliq E4 Youth
