This desk-style workstation consists of a built-in locking tool drawer and a removable wiring activity/work panel, built-in lock/key, covered storage container, and power strip. Students learn about basic electricity; how electricity is generated and transferred to homes; and how it travels around the home to be used. They have a hands-on work experience as a residential electrician, routing wire and hooking up electrical fixtures.
