ENERGY IN TODAYS CLASSROOM
Seven educators from our service area were enabled to attend the “Energy in Today’s Classroom” workshop thanks to sponsorship by Sho-Me. The training, held on July 25th-26th at the University of Missouri in Columbia, MO, covered topics such as energy basics, energy sources, power generation and transmission Economics and energy production, and energy efficiency. We are grateful for these educators’ willingness to learn about our industry and pass that knowledge on to the students they teach.
