GCEA Wants to Teach Your Group About Electricity
Gunnison County Electric Association (GCEA) aims to educate our members and the community about where their electricity comes from and how to use it responsibly. GCEA has developed electric safety and efficiency programs suitable for all residents in our community. Programs are available for children in our schools, local civic groups, EMS, fire, and law enforcement. These programs are free of charge, and all are encouraged to take advantage.
Call GCEA at (970) 641-3520 to schedule your electric education presentation. Descriptions of the presentations are below.
Teaching About Electricity
- Electricity 101 – discussion on how electricity is generated and distributed, and how to use it safely. The presentation includes a demonstration of Power Town, a “human electric circuit,” and other fun, interactive activities. This presentation may be adapted for pre-school to middle school age groups. (30-45 minutes)
- Energy Efficiency – discussion of the difference between renewable and non-renewable energy sources and how to conserve and use electricity more efficiently. (30-45 minutes)
High-Voltage Demonstration Trailer
GCEA has a high-voltage demonstration trailer that can be used as an educational tool to show just how dangerous it may be to come into contact with high-voltage wires. If your classroom or community group would like to see a live exhibition that will teach safety while making a lasting impression, call GCEA at (970) 641-3520 to schedule a free demonstration.
