Monster Detective Collective (Grades 1st–5th)

This monster-themed energy education presentation is tailored specifically for students in 1st grade through 5th grade. Through fun, imaginative storytelling and age-appropriate visuals, students become “Monster Detectives” as they learn how to track down energy waste and practice safe habits at home and school.

This program encourages early learning in energy conservation and safety in a format that young students find highly engaging.

Custom Educational & Career Presentations

KPUB also provides classroom presentations customized to your needs—covering topics such as electrical safety, energy efficiency, and careers in the utility industry. Presentations can be tailored by grade level, subject matter, and duration.

Invite a KPUB Classroom Reader

Looking to promote reading and energy awareness at the same time? You can request a KPUB team member to visit your classroom as a guest reader. We bring along special energy-themed children’s books and love sharing stories that spark curiosity, inspire conservation, and reinforce safety in an age-appropriate way.
