The brains behind the Volt, General Motors worked with educators to create "Power of the Plug," a curriculum that meets national standards and works in real world concepts. The program will include interactive lessons about making and storing electricity, renewable and non-renewable energy sources and an introduction to chemistry concepts. Kids from K-12 will have the opportunity to see first hand how the Volt works and how advances in technology will impact their lives.
