PINEVILLE, La. – Cleco is offering a free online learning resource for students, teachers and parents. E-SMARTkids offers interactive educational games and teaching tools that help students learn the principles of electricity, electrical safety and energy conservation. The program also complies with Louisiana educational standards for Health Education and Science.

“The website is a one-stop educational hub that is easy to use and very informative,” said Robbyn Cooper, manager of Investor and Public Relations. “Students will learn how electricity is generated and how it travels to homes and businesses. This new site is a fun way to increase electricity education and awareness.”
