City Light's Energy Heroes program offers free educational workshops and classroom presentations for teachers and students in grades 1-8 to create and support Energy Heroes across our community. This program focuses on energy conservation and electrical safety, renewable energy, and sustainability.
All our programs are interactive, promote curiosity, and reinforce curricula already being taught in the classroom. Each presentation or workshop can be tailored to align to class periods within your specific school.
