Energy workshops
Make your pupils aware of energy transition
Our energy workshops make your pupils aware of energy production and preservation by focusing on renewable energies. Handling models of wind turbines, solar panels and a turbine of a hydropower plant gets children to participate actively. In addition, games and a quiz contribute to ensuring good appropriation of the ideas dealt with in an entertaining way. These workshops are held in the classroom and mediated by a coordinator.
The pedagogy is based on three pillars to awaken the curiosity of pupils and promote exchanges
