Our recent Youth Energy Academy (YEA) in North Florida brought together enthusiastic students from across the region for a full day of exploration, hands-on learning, and inspiration—all centered on careers in the electric utility and energy sectors. No matter your familiarity with energy fields, this video captures the spark that ignites curiosity and a passion for STEM among the youth of our community.
Through interactive workshops, guided facility tours, and engaging Q&A sessions with industry professionals, participants gained firsthand insight into engineering, power distribution, renewable energy, and more. You’ll see students testing circuits, asking probing questions, and discovering paths they never considered before.
🌟 Why It Matters
