CoServ Presentations

POWERRace:

This giant tabletop board game introduces students to how electric infrastructure is built and what it takes to power a community.

Classrooms are divided into four teams who compete to build powerlines and deliver electricity to the town's buildings. Starting with zero infrastructure, students must work together to plan and construct the system needed to power the community.

• Skills Reinforced: Teamwork, critical thinking, and strategy
• Appropriate Age: 4th - 6th grade
• Duration: 60 min
• Max class size: 30 students per presentation

Magnetic Builders:

Students work in small teams as they progress through a series of hands-on challenges that transform 2D shapes into exciting 3D magnetic creations. Each activity builds problem‑solving skills, spatial awareness, and confidence as students explore how shapes fit together to create structures.

• Stem Skills: Engineering, magnetics, and building 3-dimensional shapes
• Appropriate Age: Kindergarten - 2^nd grade
• Duration: 30 - 45 min
• Max class size: 30 students per presentation

Duration: Presentations are 30-45 min.

CoServ and the Frisco RoughRiders held the annual STEM Camp for students on Spring Break at Riders Field in Frisco. During the Gravity Maze lesson, students enjoyed learning about pathways.

Gravity Maze:

In the Gravity Maze Presentation, students work in groups of 2-4 and use gravity to guide a marble through a maze to reach a target destination. Gravity maze introduces concepts such as potential energy, pathways, conductors, and open and closed circuits.

• STEM skills: Logic, reasoning, and problem-solving
• Appropriate Age: 3rd - 6th grade
• Duration: 30–45 mins
• Max Class size: up to 30 students per presentation

Indi Cars:

Students work in groups of 2-4 and learn to "program" an Indy Car to get from point A to point B. The car changes direction, speeds up, or slows down depending on the color of the blocks it drives over. Success requires placing the correct colors on the path, so the car follows the intended route.

• STEM Skills: Critical thinking, basic beginner programming
• Appropriate Age: Grades 2nd - 5th
• Duration: 30–45 mins
• Max Class size: 30 students per presentation

Read Across America:

Each year, our employees visit local elementary schools to read to students as part of our commitment to literacy. This annual event takes place on March 2, in honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday. Through our Read Across America program, we bring a selection of age and grade-appropriate books to your classroom and read for approximately 15 minutes. (usually two books). At the end of the reading session, we will donate a book to your school library.

• Appropriate Age: K - 2nd
• Duration: 15 min
