STEM related programs and instructional models are necessary to provide students interested in power and energy with the educational pipeline necessry to meet the employment needs of the alternative energy sector and traditional vocational trades such as plumbing and HVAC. 

With the support of industry partners and institutes of higher education, Melvin Henry Center's 

STEM: Pre-Work Force Program provides an introduction to power/energy fundamentals and technologies to increase awareness and interest by providing hands on projects that focus on math, science, and critical thinking concepts. The program is broken down into two components, an elementary program and a high school program.

1.Building Energy Efficiency 

2.Smart Grid; Power Lines.

3.Lighting

4. Solar/Wind
