The smart grid employs advanced digital technology to upgrade
the century-old electrical grid in the United States, resulting
in a radical transformation of the ways that energy is used and
consumed. EDC has developed two three-lesson curriculum units
that introduce high school students to the smart grid: - Unit 1:
Students learn about the smart grid and develop materials that
will educate others in their community about the smart grid
concept and its potential benefits. - Unit 2: Students engage in
career exploration and create job profiles for the smart grid
industry. [This project is inactive but is presented here for
