An innovative partnership between Idaho Power, Power Engineers and the College of Western Idaho brought students to Swan Falls Dam this week for an up-close look at potential careers involving drones, raptors, hydroelectric equipment and more.

It was all part of a collaboration to bring potential STEM careers into focus for these students in a setting that provides a historical backdrop and modern energy equipment. The students also got a visit from Slim, the golden eagle. Idaho Power and Power Engineers employees both work on equipment and projects to help prevent raptors from coming into contact with electrical equipment.
