Field Trip:
NY Energy Zone
CTE students from Proctor High School visited the NY Energy Zone where they took a powerful journey through the past, present, and future of electricity and New York State’s part in it. The NY Energy Zone is a fully interactive facility that offers thrilling exhibits and a 3D theater. The exhibits and activities cover a wide range of topics, from the history of electricity to the future of the grid. Visitors can build a bulb, a power plant, and solar and wind installations, become a control room operator, and even “fly” a drone over power lines. This hidden gem is right in our backyard and provides a window into New York State’s electric history!
