A DUKE ENERGY SCIENCE DAY was held at Walnut Cove Elementary on April 4th, 2025. Local Duke Energy Employees from Belews Creek Steam Station and Power Grid Operations out of Rural Hall, Kernersville, and Greensboro volunteered to assist the Walnut Cove Elementary Staff in providing hands-on activities for Walnut Cove Elementary students.  These activities are designed to help children explore science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Walnut Cove Elementary is one of 239 North Carolina elementary schools hosting Duke Energy Science Nights/Days in April 2025. Funding from the Duke Energy Foundation allows the NC Science Festival to provide each school with the support and materials needed for the activities. The Duke Energy Foundation seeks to power vibrant communities through investments in high-performing, sustainable initiatives that emphasize STEM, including programs that help create greater access to and participation in STEM-related informal and out-of-school educational opportunities.  Duke Energy Science Nights/Days are an educational initiative of the North Carolina Science Festival, with statewide science programming for all ages. The NC Science Festival is a month-long celebration of science that occurs every April. Festival events include hands-on activities, science talks, lab tours, nature experiences, exhibits, performances and other events, all hosted by many different organizations within North Carolina. Most Festival events are free.  The North Carolina Science Festival is produced by Morehead Planetarium and Science Center (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill).
