Make learning about energy fun with Kid's Korner

Capturing the hearts and minds of today's younger generation is a tough job -- after all, it's hard to compete with PlayStation games and other high-tech entertainment.  

Recognizing the power of the Internet, the City of Mascoutah has added an action-packed section to its website called "Kid's Korner" to increase interaction with its younger customers.

Kid's Korner delivers engaging and informative "energy edu-tainment".  Using colorful animations, playful graphics, interactive games, puzzles, science experiments, house projects and online coloring books, Kid's Korner explores everything from power generation sources, transmission and distribution to electrical safety, energy efficiency and utility careers.  

Using the Kid's Korner lighting and appliance calculator features, kids can easily compute how many of their favorite toys or candy can be purchased for the amount of money saved by converting incandescent lamps to compact florescent or by changing their appliance use.  Over 100 pages of content are presented online. 

Kid's Korner makes learning about energy fun, which encourages children to want to learn more.  It also offers opportunities for parent/child and teacher/student interaction and activities.
