3D printing is a hands-on newer technology that engages students in learning. We used our grant to purchase a 3D printer. Thank you EIEC!

“We are excited to be able to help students in the communities where we provide electricity. EIEC’s territory is so spread out, so we thought this grant program was a practical way to reach our entire service territory.”
