Now that the school year is back in full swing, Edgecombe-Martin County EMC is eager to inform educators about two demonstrations we offer that focus on electricity safety.  

For classrooms and smaller settings, we offer a table-top demonstration centered around electricity safety. This free electricity safety program is most suitable for Kindergarten through 5th grade and can be taught to as many as 30 children at a time. 

Additionally, we provide a high-voltage demonstration trailer that can be transported to your location. This demonstration teaches the hazards associated with working in proximity to power lines and other high-voltage equipment. This demonstration is suitable for students ranging from grades 6 through 12, as well as adult groups like first responders or civic organizations. The trailer operates using a generator, utilizing high-voltage, arcing electricity to illustrate the dangers of activities such as using metal ladders near power lines, disturbing underground power lines, identifying faults on power lines, and more.

To schedule an electricity safety demonstration, contact Monica Speight at 252-823-2171.
