Why we do this
This is about more than how electricity gets from one place to another.
It is about a young person seeing where they might fit in the future of energy, technology, and engineering.
Exposure matters. Access matters. Sometimes a career starts because someone finally got to see something they never knew existed.
Bring a young person with you
Parents, teachers, mentors, youth leaders, coaches, pastors. If you know a student in southeastern North Carolina who belongs in that room, send them this page.
Registration closes October 23.
Help us cover the day
Breakfast, lunch and supplies cost money. If you want to help carry the day, you can give through PayPal.
Add AABE / Success Academy in the payment note, if one is available, so we know the gift belongs to this event.
Your gift is separate from event registration and membership dues. Giving does not register a student for the event. PayPal opens in a new tab.
