Owego Free Academy students got a powerful lesson in Power & Energy Management (PEM) thanks to an amazing collaboration!
Students spent a full day learning about PEM, which is critical for sustainable energy, including electric power, propulsion, and energy storage. The program featured insights from experts at Broome Community College and BAE Systems.
Students will also have the opportunity for tours of BCC, Binghamton University, and BAE Systems. Such an incredible opportunity to connect classroom learning with real-world applications!
