Classroom Programs

An MGE representative will visit your classroom and present a prepared program, or with enough advance notice, prepare a customized program on an energy-related topic of your choice. Please allow at least two weeks' notice when scheduling classroom programs.

Where the Little Lightbulb Gets Its Juice - Grades K through 3
Take the mystery out of electricity. This 30-minute program will engage young students in a discussion/demonstration of how electricity is made and how it gets to our homes. A tabletop power plant model with hand-cranked generator is used to simulate electricity generation.

Pockets Full of Energy - Grades 4 through 6
A funny, interactive and entertaining approach to energy conservation. An MGE representative uses an oversized trench coat stuffed with household conservation materials to update students on the value of energy conservation.

Switch to Safety - Grade 4
An MGE representative uses a tabletop electric safety model to illustrate and simulate potentially dangerous outdoor electric safety situations. Students will learn what to avoid and how to react to these situations.

MGE Solar Partnership - Grades 6 through 12
Learn about MGE's Solar Partnership with area schools. Students will learn how to access real-time Web-based data from area photovoltaic electric solar installations and use that data to predict energy production.

Wind Power: It's Blowin' in the Wind - Grades 6 through 12
Built in 1999 by MGE, Wisconsin's Kewaunee County is home to the largest wind farm east of the Mississippi River. Learn about the environmental benefits of wind power, how it was built and the future of other renewable energy technologies in Wisconsin.
