A team of AEP Texas employees visited Ella Barnes Elementary in Corpus Christi to teach electrical safety and introduce students to career pathways in the utility industry. Staff demonstrated how electricity works, showcased trucks, climbing gear, and personal protective equipment, and let students try on hard hats and vests to make the experience hands-on and memorable.
By exposing young learners to STEM and skilled-trade opportunities early, the visit reinforced the importance of education, highlighted pathways like robotics and technical training, and strengthened community ties while promoting safe practices around electricity.
